On tap @ Sunset Alehouse in Issaquah. Really big caramel and toffee notes on this one, quite delicious. Almost like a brown in terms of body and texture.

I had this beer on-tap in a pint glass at Hillside Bar in Seattle.

Appearance: nice dark brown with a fair bit of haze. Head poured a nice thick finger of creamy tan foam with a good lace on the glass.

Smell: roasty, perhaps with a little caramel, but very mild. Decent, but I would like it a little stronger.

Taste: very, very roasty right up front; so much so that it seems dry, but there is actually a fair bit of sweetness. Toward the end it develops some more caramel and toffee flavors. It's good, and has a certain complexity, but it feels a little unrefined.

Mouthfeel: medium body with a decent frothy carbonation and a reasonable creaminess.

Overall: despite the fact that the flavor seems a little rough, I like the level of complexity achieved here. I look forward to trying more beers from Spinnaker Bay.
