Tried on tap at the Florida Brew Fest 2011 addition. It pours a nice looking amber with copper hues and full firm tan head. The aroma is dusty and nutty rolling into maltiness and a touch of roasted malts. The taste is kind of roasty, kind of malty, kind of nutty as well as a touch earthy and a touch spicy with hops. None of these flavor notes would be considered even modest in strength as they all sort of swirl and twist around as wispy thin manifolds. Into the finish it picks up soft sweet malty lagery notes and faint caramel taking this into the sweet lagery after taste. Nice brew.
