On tap at High Water, pours a deep dark amber with a small white head. Aroma is on the hoppy side for the style even at this age, with resinous hops, bready malt and toasted caramel. Flavour is very sweet and syrupy, with lots of caramel malt, syrup, and subdued resinous hops. Too sweet and syrupy, without the body or complexity to match. Sweet, syrupy finish but not quite cloying. Not the best example in the style but it's decent.
