Half pour served in a clear plastic cup, this was a shade lighter than the "Nut Brown Ale" and Stout, but tasted pretty similar. Review from notes.

Similarly fizzy, the head rapidly faded, leaving a thin ring around the surface. Clear copper color with telltale rapid carb trails. The prickly CO2 overshadowed any flavor, and it felt force carbonated. Vague note of malty nuttiness, but indistinct from the other house beers. Aroma had that "young" homebrew quality about it. Seemed like a Mr. Beer homebrew kit beer, likely from extract. It had a slight hint of sweetness, that differentiated it from the "Nut Brown" and Stout.

Not a good sign that I had to switch to a guest beer (6 Row Dunkelweiss) after the test run of the house beers.
