22oz bottle from the brewery pours a murky amber with some creamy, white head. Nose has bready, yeasty, some earthy acorn, some dried leaves. Flavor has bread, toffee, some nuts, yeast, a little dried orange peel. Dry finish.

Sampled from the tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear amber red witha white head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of bread and grain with a hint of earthy grassy hops. Flavor starts with bread and grains and has a bit of grassy hops in the finish.

Enjoyed on tap as part of a sampler at Grumpy Troll in Mt. Horeb, WI. Appearance a cloudy red tinged gold with thin white rim. Aroma of spicy hops, caramel malt, but not too prevalent. Taste also seems subdued, more malty than hoppy, its OK. Thought it was supposed to be more of a red ale than an amber ale, still not very good.

Draft at the brewpub. Unfiltered amber-brown color. Medium to full bodied, very nice balance. Amber malt, medium-dark specialty malts, and a solid hop bill all round out quite well. Smooth caramel finish. Good stuff.

Standard amber ale, there is only so much that can be done with this style. Malty, with some earth and surprisingly peat. Dry, with almost no hop presence at all.
