bottle - Pours dark amber suspended yeast flakes and a very small light tan head. It has an aroma of caramel malt and toffee. The flavori s similar with sweetness somewhat balanced by light hops. It’s medium bodied and overall pretty good.

12oz bottle. Dark orange-hued brown with a nice off white head. Fresh brewery aroma, some solid crystal malt coming through. Smooth, medium bodied. The low ABV really makes it incredibly easy to down, but there is still a touch of quality that stands out, making it an enjoyable beer to just sip on too. Smooth dark malt flavor, with a mild bitter earthiness. Toasty malt finish. Right on, but Id think a little more strength wouldnt have hurt.

12 oz. bottle, trade-out at the Flossmoor RB Chicago gathering. Popping the cap greets me with a nice thick caramelly malt smell. Pours a roast-turkey brown with a thin scrum of a head. Malts come through in the taste as well. A nice caramel roast with a bit of chocolate and a hint of peat like in Schmaltz’ Alt.. Just enough hop for balance. Nice beer all around.

Pour is a deep and dark red with almost no head. Aroma is very nice! Lots of roasted chocolate to go around. Flavor is a tastes like plum and raisin juice with a roasted backbone. Smells good, tastes good, I like it!

2004 bottle. Light fiery red color, decent beige colored head. Very clear. Not much of a smell, a bit of caramel and barley, maybe a touch of hops. Flavor is quite dry, grains, and a bit of caramel malt. Hops are mildly sharp on the finish. Tastes like mineral water and body is medium-light with a firm carbonation. No real complexity. I’m not seein the smoked malts, nor does the brewer mention them. This just tastes like an average amber ale.

Red brown ale with malty nutty nose with some tartness. Roasted malt and nuts come out but there is some tartness which is a bit misplaced. Sharp hops come in the end. Medium body.

Dark brown colour which is slightly opaque, but clearer at the bottom (as usual). A nice dense tan head. Faint aroma of roasted malt and coffee notes. The flavour is very nutty and somewhat choolatey as well. The taste is very watery and light-bodied. The aftertaste doesn't last long and is pretty mild compared to the initial taste. I don't think i've had many beers of this style, but this seems like an adequate representation of it. Nothing special here though, in my opinion.
