Odd how the beer itself doesn't come close to matching the label description. It is a red beer with a small head that fades to zero after a bit. Aromas are sweet malt with hints of roast and toffee. Flavors are very similar to nose on the sweet side with a little bitter in the background and slightly forced carbonation. Okay beer.

Sampled from the tap at the State Fair. Pours a slightly hazy light yellow with a white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has sweet cake batter and a bit of cookie with an earthy sweet grain backbone. Flavor is full of cake batter and sugar cookie with a hint of earthiness backing.

Got in a trade with The-Adjunct-HIppie. 12 ounce can into pint glass, best before 6/4/2019. Pours lightly hazy/cloudy medium orange/amber/light copper color with a 1-2 finger dense and creamy/rocky cream colored head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice dense soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big caramel, brown sugar, toffee, toasted biscuit, nuts, brown bread/crust, raisin, plum, peach, pear, and red apple; with lighter notes of roast, wood, herbal, floral, grass, pepper, and yeast/toasted earthiness. A bit too fruity/yeasty aromas, but not overwhelming. Nice aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/bready/light roasted malts, light-moderate fruity yeast, and light earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big caramel, brown sugar, toffee, toasted biscuit, nuts, and brown bread/crust; with lighter notes of roast, raisin, plum, peach, pear, red apple, wood, herbal, floral, grass, pepper, and yeast/toasted earthiness.

Lingering notes of caramel, brown sugar, toffee, toasted biscuit, nuts, brown bread/crust, light roast/fruits, wood, herbal, floral, grass, pepper, and yeast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/bready/light roasted malts and light fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready, fairly sticky, and lightly chalky mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol for 5.6%. Overall this is a delicious amber ale. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/bready/light roasted malts and light fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mildly bitter/drying finish. Great soft feel. Nicely clean/rich dark/Munich malt complexity; with solid noble hop presence/balance, and restrained fruity yeast. Light residual sweetness with lingering bitter dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and impressively well made style example. A bit more English feeling than expected.

Taster flight at Stone Arch. Nothing fancy here, just a solid brown, hits all the right marks. Toasted malts, nutty.
