On tap at brewery:
An obviously clear (from the edges), but dark brown beer that prevents light at the thicker parts of its body. An off-white to light beige head falls to a medium thick collar, but there is no lacing.

Nose is very light roasted malt with a slightly floral note mixed in. Not too strong, but there's an impression of a mildly sweet beer.

The roast d malts are in play, but they're just part of a mix. A malty more than sweet opening has a berry tang that could be the yeast that gains my attention a little more than the roast. I can see certain fruity coffees (that I don't generally buy) in this. A little cola aspect in back, there's a fairly clean but ever so slightly yeasty ending to this beer.

Maybe just a tad too watery in the middle, it's lightness is overall nice. Could use just a bit more roast or less of what I perceive as fruity yeast to really hit the spot for me.
