Bottle. No head - only some bubbles when I poured. Color is hazy amber. Aroma is mainly hops. Taste is nothing like a wit. Its all hops and no sign of wheat. Its good, but I was disappointed by the name on tha label and was in the mood for a refreshing wit, and not something that was more like an IPA.

0.5L poured deep dark amber with frothy malted milk shake head. Chewy aroma of molasses, chocolate, coffee, burnt malts and a hint of vanilla. The flavor starts with roasted to burnt malts. The dry maltiness slowly bleeds into sweet and syrupy notes starting with coffee then rolling into molasses, sweet chocolate, a hint of sweet caramel and an even fainter hint of dark fruit. I love the way it begins in standard porter fashion and then adds malty sweetness and smooth complexity as the taste progresses. In the after taste I’m left with a classic porter black patent burnt malt flavor. As it warms I get freshly cooked brownies and dark fruit compote.

Bottle: Poured an orangey color ale with a medium foamy head with average retention. Aroma of caramel malt and bitter hops is quite enjoyable. Taste was comprised of good balance mix between caramel malt and bitter slightly citrus hops. I thought this beer was well balance with a good malt base as with most of the offerings from this brewery.

Bottle: Poured a dark brown color ale with a nice medium foamy head with slightly better then average retention. Aroma of bitter and slightly piney hops is mix with some nice caramel malt. Taste is somewhat reminiscent of an hoppy porter (maybe because of the color) with load of roasty/sweet caramel malt and a bitter and slightly piney finish. Body has real creamy texture with medium carbonation and no alcohol could be detected. If I had to rate to style, then I’m not sure this would score very highly since it is quite off for the style. Since I am not rating to style, I thought this was a really good beer that doesn’t really fit into a define style.

Dark brown with a slight redness to it - nearly headless, but a nice ring of lace develops with the pour - nutty aroma, with hints of caramel, nutmeg, biscuity malt, and a touch of chocolate - medium-bodied, with a nice balance of malt and spicy hops - crisp and biscuity - hints of caramel of cocoa, along with some mild spices - some coffee and chocolate develop far in the back at the finish - a well-crafted, highly sessionable brown.
