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.

look: 4 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3
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.

3.16/5  rDev +2.3%
look: 4 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 2 | overall: 3
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.

3.37/5  rDev +9.1%
look: 2.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 4
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.
