Poured into glass from bottle. Pours a very clear ruby red. Malty sweetness in the aroma with a little bit of toast. Flavor matches aroma in malty sweetness but with more caramel and roasted grain coming through and a firm bitterness. Medium mouthfeel. Well developed flavor, a great example of the style. Tried most of the offerings in the brewery but went with this one the most.

Thin half a finger head of light tan hue, very airy and sizzles down to the surface in little time, wispy lacing, close to nonexistent. The liquid is quite clear and spotless, a handsome amber red to mahogany brown, the bubbles are loose, no beads, but large and active. Sweet nose of cocoa, molasses, roasted nuts, offset slightly by citrus and pine notes, peach and yellow apple fruit scents, does not seem to be striving for complexity but rather agreeability, narrowly avoids getting funky as it warms. Medium-bodied, the lack of carbonation makes it feel flat and sluggish. Here a metallic bitterness does pervade, leeches sweetness from the caramel, molasses, scone and pie crust base. On the fruity side with apricot, peach, pear flavors. The pine appears but the citrus takes a few steps back into the shadows. Finishes with a roasty, nutty nature. It’s serviceable but that’s about it, too heavy to session and lacks freshness. Yet, by the same token, not overtly flawed.

6/27...on tap, pours brownish copper, with heavy foam. Pine nose. Nutty bready flavor. Caramel. Sweet. Smooth mouthfeel, high carbonation, little bitters. Very good.
