Sample at Twenty Tap. Dark brown color with a medium beige head that recedes quickly to a film. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of roasted malt, grain and slight hops. Light to medium body with flavors of grainy malt, chocolate and earthy hops. The finish is sweet with a short toasted malt aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.

Can: Pours clear amber, with a large, foamy, off-white head. Honey, barley malt aroma, soft pretzel... Flavour is grainy, dry bread-heel, a hint of salt. Tasty, but an odd, dry-dusty feel to it. Darker and richer than a typical blonde...(ale, that is)

Can. Coconut and chocolate malt aroma. Dark black-brown with small head. Sweet bourbon and coconut/chocolate malt flavor. Didnβt think that coconut and bourbon sounded like a good mix but worked pretty well. Very sweet.
