A horse walks into a bar and the bartender says, "Why the long face?" An all around easy drinking, tasty beverage with malt and notable caramel flavors balanced by several American hop varieties.

Poured from an inch or so above the glass giving me a light brown maybe tan head that was pretty decent, almost half the glass above a clear caramel amber colored beer.
Roasted almost burnt caramel malt aroma with a slight hint of something else, interesting.
The taste is more of the caramel malt almost bordering on molasses yet they hold the roasted almost burnt feel of the aroma.
A medium bodied beer with some roasted malt coming through in the dry aftertaste,
A decent beer with some good stuff going on but yet it misses hitting home and making me want more.

Appearance: Clear amber pour, fluffy beige head, settles quickly and leaves mild lacing.
Smell: Sweet an biscuity malts, along with a hint of hops.
Taste: Rich sweetness initially, followed by a toasted malt flavor supported by a very faint hop presence.
Mouthfeel: Wow--So very watery. Medium carbonation. Drinks like carbonated water, truly. Finish is fairly crisp.
Overall: Decent beer that is worth a taste, but definitely not a regular purchase.

Served: Bottle poured into a pint glass.
Aroma: Malty, burnt caramel with some very slight fruitiness I couldn't really decipher.
Appearance: A brownish with read color, mahogany like. Light head that didn't really leave lacing but slight film.
Flavor: A nice smokey maltyness, caramel and faint hop bitterness. Slight sweet malt and a touch of sour I noticed on occasion.
Body and Texture: A little less than average carbonation, pretty smooth though. Leaves you a bit dry.
Drinkability: Wasn't all that filling, nothing off putting. Could stand to have a few of these.
