bottle - Pours slightly hazy yellow-amber with a one finger white head. It has a mild, grassy malt aroma. It tastes mostly of sweet malt with a bit of mild hops added. This light bodied brew is decently drinkable, but a long way from impressive.

12oz bottle. Deep black color with a minimal head. Smooth and creamy Porter, with mild coffee notes. Very delicate and well balanced. Somewhat dry finish, very little hop character. Quite an enjoyable, middle-of-the-road Porter.

Tap. Apricot/raisin malt aroma with a hint of alcohol. Brown amber color with a moderate head. Dried apricot/prune flavor with a moderate astringent alcohol finish. Very nice barleywine - a little hard to fully appreciate though when its 80 degrees outside though.
