Sample at the brewpub. The beer pours a clear dark orange color with a medium off-white head that recedes steadily. Strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of malt, hops and caramel. Light-bodied with flavors of toasted malt, caramel and mild hops. The finish is sweet with a caramel aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.

Dark, muddy brown coloured body with a very thin tan oily head. Aroma of alcohol, roasted malt, pit fruits, cherries, raisins, caramel and a hint of nuts. Medium-bodied; Assertive roasted malt at first with a very good sweetness from raisins, pit fruits, plums, cherries, all with noticeable malt and nuts behind. Aftertaste showing a touch of spices with a little alcohol warmth, but definite sweetness to go around. Overall, a nice and relatively complex beer, full of good flavours - a step down from a Barley Wine, and this is a good thing. Definitely worth trying if you can find it! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Pear Delicatessen in Seattle, Washington on 11-February-2013 for US$1.70 sampled at home in [the real] Washington on 26-February-2013.

Blond color. It has a quite nice aroma of malt. Also the mouthfeel is good, quite crispy, although it gets a paper and corn character at the end. Good bitterness level.
Good Lager.
