Sample at the brewpub. The beer pours a dark orange-amber color with a thick and foamy light beige head that dissipates slowly. Sticky sheet of lacing on the glass. Aroma of spiced hops, malt and macaroni-n-cheese. Medium to full body with flavors of caramel malt, sharp hops and sweet fruit. The finish is malty up front but is quickly overtaken by astringent hops that leaves a lingering bitterness. Slightly above average overall.
