Pours quite pale, a bit hazy with a very thin head. Aroma has some honey, a bit of malts. Taste has it even more so - bee wax feel is even stronger, a bit of bread also. Could be worse - is at least drinkable, could imagine myself drinking it in a hot summer day.

Draft - Sweet malts and strawberry. Clear gold with thin white head. Berries and pine with a hit of intense bitterness with a strawberry finish. Odd but decent.

On tap at Craft Beer Base. I agree with the other reviews, it is a nice average all around brown ale. It has a smooth malt taste with some bitterness. Decent.

Draught at Castle West. Thick, fine, pretty and inviting tan head on a shiny black beer. Lightly roasty, nutty aroma with chocolate and cream. Sweet flavor with chocolate, wood, rather light roasting, some root beer. Lightish body, though full and creamy. Not something to move you, but a very drinkable and tasty sweet-side stout.
