Bottle. Pours dark for a pale ale; a deep amber with not much of a head. Aromas of bready caramel malt. Taste is light without a lot of hops. Although it is pretty smooth to drink, this is an English style pale ale and not "hoppy" enough for me.

A big black yes black coffee beer. Very nice foamy head. Yes, what else can you say about cold black coffee from start to finish. Lower alky makes this rather drinkable.

Draft at OF. Thick amber-caramel color, with a steady beige head. Sweet, sugary bourbon laced aroma. Rich caramel tones. The bourbon is certainly there, but melds quite smoothly with the rich malt tones. Bourbon displays itself more and more after each sip. Almost a spicy caramel liqueur. A really well done beer, captures the style and tweaks it up a notch. Good stuff. No hops, but nice.

Sample at Ale Wine & Spirits in Powell on 02/23/2012. This brew pours a clear pale orange color with a medium thin off-white head that evaporates quickly. Short strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of hops and grainy malt. Medium body with flavors of earthy hops, malt and a bit of citrus. The finish is mildly bitter with a short hoppy aftertaste. Decent overall.

Sampled from the tap at the Milwaukee brewpub. Pours a hazy orangish gold with a white head that lasts throughout the beer and laces thickly. Aroma has a light perfume note with a bit of flora and some earthy sweet grains. Flavor was a bit thin with light fruit, sweet grains and a bit of earthy grass.
