P- Market Cross Pub in Carlisle

A- pours a fire orange folor with minimal head and minimal lacing on the pint glass. Somewhat carbonated as well.

S- sweet malts and nuts. Peanut i would say. Very basic and calm aromas.

T- grainy and hazelnut come to the forefront. It is like hazelnut creamer mixed with grain alcohol. Some other spices are there as well.

M- Grainy and creamer like. Somewhat dry yet very moist.

D- Interesting taste notes in this makes it intriguing to try but the graininess is just too much to pound back more than one or two of these.

Nice clarity for a dark auburn colored beer. Gives you a beige head of over a half an inch, even if it does not yield the desired lace or retention thereof. Aroma was mildly sweet and nutty I guess. Sure.

Even more mild tastewise. Thin body. Not much roasting of said malt backbone, which is kinda lacking. Its a smooth brown lager. Oktoberfestish.

I remember having this on tap a few years ago. Nothing to write home about.
