On tap. Pours a clear light amber with a near white head that dissipates slowly to the edges and laces. Aroma has a decent amount of bread and grain with a slight nuttiness underlying. Flavor has a bit more of a sweetness from the grains but finishes with bread and nuttiness.

12 oz bottle @ home, courtesy of those wonderful Bierkoning people. Enjoy by date was 07/25/14, so more than three months past. Nice clear amber color. Off white head, stiff as whipped cream, with good retention and lacing. Aroma’s: bready & caramel malts, some fruit, light resin. Retronasal there’s hoppy acidity, bready malts and bitterhops. Flavor is moderate to full bitter, with just a light malty sweet backbone. Alcohol doesn’t feel like 6.5%. Body is light to medium. Finishes a bit dry, with a long lasting herbal bitterness. Still not bad.

Bottle poured into a shaker. Pours black with a finger of tan head. Aroma of coco and dark fruits. Taste is similar with some herbal hop bitterness. Light bodied with a thin texture. Fizzy carbonation and a decently long finish. Overall, not bad. Light and enjoyable.
