Appears a chest nut brown hue with a large quickly fleeting khaki tan head, leaves behind specks of lacing. Aromatics offer up some metallic notes with a roasted malt character that is reminiscient of roasted nuts with some caramel drizzled over, not a bad smelling brew. Althought there's no real hop profile to speak of. Flavor has a sweet cloying thing going on with some residual sugar and extract "natural flavoring" issues going on. Ample roastiness from the actual malts used but there's no need to throw in the extract, again no real hops detectable especially among the sweetness. Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied, with a cloying finish from some light syrup textures from the extract flavoring used. Drinkability is pretty low just give me a Wild Goose or Sam Smith's nut brown they make the same flavor without adding the extracts.

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.
