This roasty, nutty, and caramelly beer is the result of Maris Otter and Biscuit malts vying for your attention to notice their own special toasted qualities. The smaller Caramel malts just sit back and watch the show, playfully catching your tongue every now and then. The Chinook hops’ rich, herbal smokiness plays referee, stepping in to break up the skirmish when needed and reminding the two malts that it’s only by working together does anyone become memorable.

Came a clear copper color with a half finger off white head atop.Mild caramel and toasted bread in the noes with a light smattering of leafy hops underneath.The feel even on nitro seemed a bit thin,watery and less creamy than what I was hoping for.Flavors of caramel and sweet dough,a decent earthiness emerges in the finish to keep the sweetness where it should be.It's quaffable like it should be,not a world beater but it don't need to be,nice job here.
