UPDATED: MAR 2, 2020 Good flavor; not too bitter; fairly easy drinking. Not my favorite but glad I tried it

Keg at The Full Sail Taproom, Portland, OR in 2013. Clear amber with an offwhite head. Malty, grainy aroma with some dark fruit and berries and a bit of piney hops. Very quaffable amber, with hints of toasted malt, biscuity notes, fruit and wood.

UPDATED: SEP 13, 2019 Somewhat sweeter than optimal, I think, with some bread notes. But a spicy finish that more than make up for it. Nice smell. I suspect this is brewed with a blend of malts to increase its complexity. Good with food.

UPDATED: MAR 8, 2019 12 oz bottle. Pours a bright dark brown with a fast dissipating off-white head. Scents of carmel maltiness. Nice big flavors of malt and an edge of balancing hops. A very nice amber. Low carbonation and a relatively short astringent finish.

UPDATED: FEB 12, 2019 A ridiculously clear amber brown with a small wispy beige head and a peppery toffee biscuit aroma. Medium bodied with a raspy carbonation. The taste is a bit average with caramel and bread notes some paste and fruits with a dry some spicy herbal honey finish. Quite drinkable but a little too dry for me.

UPDATED: JAN 25, 2019 Pours a dark amber with slightly off white head and minimal lacing. Aroma is some roasted malt with caramel and raisins dominating the nose. Taste follows with some dark fruit and slight baking spice added in. Finished sweet and dry. Nothing spectacular, but a quality beer that I would be happy to return to.

UPDATED: DEC 1, 2018 16oz on tap at the Holsteins, Las Vegas. Aroma is light malt. Appearance is dark amber with a thin brown-ish foam. Taste is light sweet and slightly bitter. A bit watery. Good.

Bottle - Caramel, light raisin and some nutty notes. Clearish amber brown with a decent white head. Light nutty notes and some toffee with a hint of bitterness. Classic.

Pours clear, dark amber with ruby tine and a two finger, light tan head. Aroma is caramel and hops. Taste is thin caramel, moving to roast, light citrus and a building hop backbone. Finish is hoppy.

Highly hoppy and at the same time perfectly malted. This balance makes it one of the worlds best beers hands down!!! Bicuity taste and SO smooth. Will always be in my refrigerator. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
