3.31/5  rDev -4.6%
look: 4 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 2.5 | overall: 3.5
A - nice amber color. Two finger creamy colored head that has some retention but sinks to just a thin cap. No lacing, otherwise very nice.

S - toffee and caramel, that's about it, not a strong smell.

T - much like the smell, has a somewhat leafy hops finish. Not great but ok, would prolly be a 4 from me if it wasn't for the aftertaste that is a little metallic

M - pretty thin, could use some carbonation. Also a little oily.

D - pretty drinkable for me, but again the metallic aftertaste turns me off.

Overall this beer is just ok for me. Not a bad choice for the price and the avaliablity. Worthy of a try, and I might would buy this again.

Light amber, thin head, vanishes. Aroma was of just toasted malt.

Taste was weak, a little sweet and bitter, couldn't decide if it was a malt liquor or an amber ale. Toffee, well carbonated, almost excessively, harsh bitter aftertaste is the main mouthfeel component, and its not all that hoppy so who knows.

Pale brown. Raisin, chocolate, sweet malt aroma. Chocolate and biscuit flavors. Velvety carbonation.
