Lovely aroma of pumpernickel and nuts. Solid body with a great malt base, pumpernickel, nuts and molasses. Carbonation is low. Hardly any bitterness. 290911

Bottle, enjoyed while watching the White Sox trounce Boston in Game 1. Well, I couldn’t cellar this once I found out about Iowa 6% abv limit. So let’s enjoy it now: Pours a respectable cola brown with nonetheless a slightly alcoholic, malty smell. Taste is grainy and a bit overly sweet, like Italian coffee syrup. Taste is a bit of a letdown, I guess, after the promise of that smell. But then again, the lowered abv puts it out of the style definition, so it’s pretty nice for whatever it is. And hey, Wawood, it’s not odd that you went this long without an Iowa beer: I think Millstream is the only Iowa brewer that even does retail packaging.

Odd sweet potato aroma. Brown. Sweet but lacks dark fruit or malt flavors. Good, heavy palate, but something seems off.
