bottle - Pours dark amber with a one finger off-white head. The aroma is of caramel malt with some light fruitiness. The flavor is sweet caramel malt. There’s a hint of dark fruit. It’s medium bodied and solid enough, but didn’t overly impress me. It’s good, but it’s no Celebrator.

12 oz bottle purchased at Blue Max in Burnsville, Minnesota. Pour is clear ruby golden with a smallish light tan head. Aroma of big chewy nutty sweet caramel maltiness. Some dark dried fruit (prune?), some mild banana ester - touch of straw rounds it out. Taste is the chewy caramel honey malt sweetness, followed closely behind by straw and finally the mild banana yeastiness and dry bitterness. Decent transitions of flavors, nice melding. Palate is medium, decent carbonation - a bit long with the estery finish. At almost room temperature some alcohol was noticeable. Nice sipper.

Draft at the OF. Deep orange-toffee brown. Thin head. Solid deep malt tones, although there is a touch of dirty graininess, as per most Capital beers. Relatively low CO2, with some crisp, mild bitterness up front. Caramel, amber, and chocolate nuances. Smooth caramel finish. OK.
