Appearance: On draft in Williamsburg. Tall dirty white head on top of a beer that is a deep copper color of iced tea. Great lacing all the way down an imperial pint glass, with a steady stream of bubbles coming up from the bottom.
Aroma: Not too strong. Room temperature bread crust.
Taste: Malt sweetness balancing some earthy hop bitterness. Caramel. Lightly toasted bread. White raisins. Honey.
Feel: Moderate or maybe medium-low carbonation. A little more than medium feel.
Overall: Well balanced but the sweetness is a little on the strong side.

Malty, estery, and slightly spiced character, reminiscent of Belgian brews.

nice reddish brown in color with nice head and lacing. Aroma is hoppy and malty, balanced together. Some light citrus in the taste with sweet malts and a good bite from the hops. Overall, balanced well...
