Had this one on tap at Carlyle Brewing on 10/11/2008.

A= This beer poured a slightly cloudy medium yellow gold color with a decent 3/4" snow white head which dropped quickly to nothing. Very little lacing to speak of.

S= I found it hard to get an aroma off of this beer. Even after letting it warm a bit, all I could get was a whiff of sweet malts.

T= I was pleased very much by the taste of this brew. All of the malty, spicy, nutty flavors that I associate with a good fest bier were present. Finish was just dry enough to make me want the next sip.

MF= Medium bodied with a crisp carbonation and mouthfeel.

D= This was a pleasant surprise and a beer I would order again as it goes down very easy. Would pair well with pizza or almost any pub grub.

Draught @ Brewpub: This one pours a somewhat hazy, dark golden color, with a slight coppery hue. There was a small white head with some lacing. The nose is somewhat malty with a hint of spiciness. The taste is a medium malt body with a touch of bitterness and spices. Slightly tart, dry finish. OK, but nothing special.
