3.73/5  rDev -2.1%
look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
Appearance: Pours a root beer brown cloudy body with a light tan head and considerable lacing

Smell: Not very distinct, but a bit bready with hoppy undertones

Taste: Tastes like a nut brown or a dunkel at first, but then you get hit by the bitter hops; interestingly, the finish is hoppy and bitter but matched by a touch of sweetness on the tip of the tongue

Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation

Drinkability: Unusual but noteworthy; a quality brew

A draft pour yields a deep reddish brown brew wearing an impressive head of dense, creamy beige foam. Head retains quite well and lacing is as thick as it comes.

Aroma presents a nice balance of sweet caramel malts and pine and floral hops.

Flavor is rich and relatively complex, offering caramel, brown sugar, and bready malts which are quickly washed out by a massive rush of numbing floral and piney hops.

Body is mediumish with a chunky, chewy texture. It ends with a long, hoppy finish. One of the only acceptable beers from CB&B.
