Crisp and ever so slightly hazy deep brown and rich amber coloured body with a nice two centimetre tall off-white and tan head that fades very quickly and just leaves a small layer on top. Aroma of roasted malts, nuts, toast, raisins, figs, light alcohol and a touch of molasses. Medium-bodied; Strong grainy flavours dominate with a lot of biscuity, nutty, earthy and sweet caramelised sugar notes that have a rustic quality but finish the beer out even sweeter than I expected. Aftertaste has some of the more pungent and sweet, toffee and earthy flavours noticeable that give a light maltiness, but this goes down very smoothly and easily for one of the richer lagers, plus without much of the typical lager yeast notes or earthiness that's expected. Overall, a great example of a slightly more pungent and potent version of a Vienna, but done with a good set of flavours that isn't too pungent or deep, but still packing a punch I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Giant Food in Alexandria (Potomac Yard), Virginia on 25-November-2020 for US$1,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 10-December-2020. 

Keg at the brewpub. Pours a hazy copper with a large creamy tan head. Good head retention. Aroma of toasted malt, caramel and a fruity finish. The taste is caramel, toasted malt, Noble hops. Medium bodied, mild lingering bitterness.
