Hazy dark amber color with creamy head. Nice caramel aroma. Good caramel flavor, with light fruity esters, moderate residual sweetness, correct bitterness level.
Solid winter ale, straight-forward.

Ok pale. Has a touch of diacetyl, which naturally gets stronger on the tongue as it goes. Decent hop bitterness, and otherwise the balance is good. But yeah, diacetyl is becoming more common in DK beers these days and this is sad.

Draft at the brewpub. Pours black with a nutty aroma. Dark roasted malt flavors with a nutty finish. Stronger beer, but you would never know drinking it. Definitely picking up the oak chips as well. One of the better brown ales I have had. Very well done.

Dark amber color, clean, with compact head. Caramel aroma, with a mild but interesting fruity side. Soft mouthfeel; strong caramel base, with nutty accent, moderate residual sweetness, light fruity touch; quite strong nutty bitterness too, and some hop resins in the final.
A well brewed beer, clean.

Bottle, brought back from the Xmas road trip. Pours a nice caramel color topped with a monster beige head. Lots of sticky lacing follows a lumpy finger to the bottom of the glass. Nose is good, a sweet and piney blend. Good caramel malts and citrus balance the florals. Overall quite easy to drink, but potent. Good stuff.
