From notes 11/27/12: Pours a clear, very dark amber with red hues producing 2 fingers of frothy, lasting, tan head that leaves exquisite clumpy rings and sheets of lace. Absolutely beautiful! Aroma is biscuit, toast, chocolate and a hint of caramel with grassy, pine and citrus hops hints declining in that order. Taste is fronted by toasted malts with a biscuity burnt bread undertone backed by by pine and grass hoppiness. The finish is a peppery, lightly dry, burnt brown sugar and hop bitterness with a similar but even drier aftertaste that is rapidly predominated by the bitter. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, smooth with moderate carbonation.

Brown and red look, small tan head over a quarter of an inch. Mild red and nutty aroma, slight hops.

Taste yielded good c hops. A lot of brown and red malts, toasted appropriately. Feels like October, a little malt, still some last hops from the summertime brews.
