Sample at the CBC Beer Hall. Clear dark reddish-amber color with a medium thin off-white head that diminishes steadily to an outer ring. Short strings of lace. Roast malt, caramel, hops and fruit in the nose. Light-bodied with flavors of roasted malt, caramel, mild earthy hops and fruit. The finish is sweet with a roasty malt aftertaste. Above average overall.
