Appearance: Clear, deep red in color, with a moderate tan head, which retains well. The lacing is somwhat thin and patchy, the carbonation moderate.
Aroma: Lots of caramel and toasted malt, with a definite toasted dark bread note. Modest herbal hops round out the aroma.
Taste: Opens with robust, slightly tart malt notes, toasted bread, biscuit and caramel flavors are present. The Munich malt offers its notable, slightly tangy, sour note to good effect. As the taste progresses, a moderate herbal hop presence ascends, although against the malt, it serves as an accompaniment, never dominating. The taste finishes with a long, lingering tart malt note, with a mild herbal hop presence.
Mouth feel: Soft and full, with moderate carbonation felt.
Drinkability/notes: Very well done, a well-made, quite malty example that showcases the Munich malt quite well.
Presentation: Packaged in a twenty-ounce (650 ml) brown glass bomber with a pry-off crown, served in a Samuel Adams Boston Lager sensory glass.

Got as part of my Secret Santa package from OakedCanuck. Poured from 22oz bottle. Thanks once again Colin!
A- Pours a medium colored amber color. One and a half finger white head shows light retention. Spotty lacing which was light on the sides of the glass.
S- The aroma on this is lightly staled bready caramel malts from the front onward. The ending of this is muted citrus hops and nothing really else. Interesting..don't know if I like it but it's not bad at all.
T- Sweet caramel malts give way to a chocolate light toasted malt combo. Very weird for the style but digging it. Medium part of the beer was a light grainy bready taste. Ending shows light alcohol mixed with some herbal earthy hops.
M- Light mouthfeel. Carbonation is good for the style. Toasted malts with light chocoalte sweetness left on the palate. Aftertaste was stale grain, earthy hops, and faint alcohol hints. Balance was alright for the style I suppose which was very much malt forward. Light alcohol drying on the palate. Kind of a stale taste to the overall beer itself.
D- This beer was good don't get me wrong. It was a smooth drinker but there was something that didn't give me the push I was looking for. An above average drinker which I would drink again any day of the week.
