Poured into a snifter, the appearance looked like orange marmalade colored body with a gentle finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated at a nice pace. Moderate semi-filmy lacing.
The aroma starts off with some sweet caramel and toffee malts, sly nuttiness, some grassy/tobacco leafy hops. Some English bready/biscuity yeasty flavor.
The flavor melds the sweet malts to the sweet grassy hops nicely. It does stay pretty sweet throughout, but then there’s that dryness also gripping my taste buds and invading the aftertaste. Definitely a dry malty finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice smooth maltiness rolling over my tongue. Carbonation feels good and fairly low.
Overall, really good as an English strong ale. Me, yes, I could have it again.

Tap at the brewpub. Amber pour with nose of burnt grass and toffee. tastes of toffee, grass, bread, earthy piney hops, maybe some copper penny taste. semi boozy finish with sticky mouthfeel
