Roasted, malty taste with notes of coffee, chocolate, dark rye bread, raisins, prunes and a generous coffee bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Solid and well made.

Old Fountain. Light haze on this amber beer. Good fluffy off white head. Light crisp palate, semi dry. Creamy malt, sweet caramel lacto. Nice malt but it out muscles the hop somewhat. The hops are mildy bitter orange. Finishes crisp and semi dry. Mild bitter linger. Nice beer. Just a little more hop required.
