Sampled from a 22 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark brown color with orange highlights and a medium sized tan head that faded and left no lacing. The aroma was tangy and sweetish with a sour caramel presence and touches of maple and wood. The flavor was toasty malts, toasted caramel, wood and a faint smoky undertone. Medium length finish and thin in body. Ok.
