Draft at the brewpub. This beer poured a dark, caramel color with a nice light tan, creamy head. Aroma was notes of sweet caramel notes, some dried fruits. Flavor was nice caramel notes, touch of fruits, light bitterness.

Taster at the brewpub. Nut brown malt smell, with not much hop in the nose. A thin, brown head. Taste has a dollop of chocolate up front. I’m noticing the whole establishment has a sort of estery smell, like they just pitched yeast in the brewhouse, and that may permeate to the beer I’m drinking. A backing of toffee in the malt after a few sips. Quite warm and filling. Just a note of light alcohol in the finish.
