Hazy golden-amber color with a medium off-white head that recedes gradually. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of floral hops, citrus and malt. Medium-bodied with flavors of herbal hops, grapefruit and caramel malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a resiny hops aftertaste. Decent overall.

The bottle looks really, really good. Beer in the glass deep black, oily, nice head. Roasty malty aroma. Starts very strong, but not very alcoholic. Heavy-malty, earthy, roasty. Hints of liquorice and bitter chocolate. Finish milder, soft-malty, warming. The alcohol is well hidden. Great beer!

tap at Ft Wayne Oktobeerfest 2013 - This hazy gold brew has an aroma of citrus hops. The flavor is definitely "hop forward" and has some citrus and a good dose of malt. It’s medium bodied and pretty good overall though to me it’s not that great for the style.

Sample from 2009 bottle. This brew pours black with a thing beige head that diminishes steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. The aroma is vinous with oak and vanilla notes. Rich body with flavors of oak, roasted malt and dark fruits. Touches of dark chocolate as well. The finish is malty with a dark fruity aftertaste. Above average overall.
