Bottle: Amber color with a thin, sandy head. Smells mild. Sweet and malty. Lagerish taste with sweetness and light florals. Ends up rather bland.

Bottle: Pours a chesnut brown color with a finger of creamy beige head. The nose is rich with roast, espresso, and chocolatey sweets. Nice. A nicely balanced flavor of coffee, light roast, cocoa, and a milky sweetness take effect. What a pleasant suprise amongst some sub-par Bitter Root beers... this nut brown ale is quite nice.

Bottle: A dull copper pour with two fingers of sand colored head. Aroma of light florals, malts, and a bit earthy. Wtf? A grassey, lagery malty thing is about all I can taste here... it loses all pale ale qualities and goes straight to premium lager? Honestly, this is like someone put orange dye #2 in bud/miller/coors here? Dick.

Bottle: Dark golden pour with a thick white head. Lots of web lacing. A light aroma is sweet, malty, and grassey. Sweet and malty up front with a good crisp finish. Lingering light bitters (very light, but nonetheless...) and a floral sensation to boot! This blonde puts out.

Bottle: Light amber color with a thin beige head. Bits of sticky lacing. Aroma is rather mild and simple with caramel and floral hops. Tastes malty with caramel and light rye notes before some citrus and floral hops. Finishes lighty sweet before a bitter floral finish. Decent, but not great.

Brought back from Toby’s great Montana Growler round up. Pours out a Dark brown topped with a tan head. Aroma was of sweet milk chocolate, coffee and fresh milk. Taste was more of the sweet chocolate and roast coffee. Pretty good.

Thanks to decaturstevo for sharing this one at the April Get Together. Clear dark brown pour with a tan head. Chocolate and roast malt aroma and flavor. I’d have to have a bit more chewiness to rate this higher. Thin.
