On tap at the brewery. Pours with a clear bronze body with a small off-white head. Aromas are lightly grassy, grainy, malty, alcohol, caramel and light fruity esters. Flavors are sweet (too sweet), caramel and grainy. Light bubbles, syrupy, full bodied, alcoholic.

lightly hazy copper pour - nose of caramel, plum, light hop bitterness, toffee - body is medium and slightly creamy - malt profile is lightly toasty, with golden promise being the star - fairly dry up front for the style, but a caramel and toffee sweetness develops through the middle - a light plumy character - none of the smokiness you expect - in fact, no real yeast character to speak of - lightly spicy alcohol in the finish - it’s okay, just not as bold as you want the style to be.

Tap @ brewery. Red orange appearance with a smallish, off white head. Earthy, mildly bitter hops, strong toffee, moderate caramel aroma. Pretty strong flavor. Lots of toffee and caramel, yet fairly bitter, including the finish. Some booziness also. Ok.
