A 12-oz. pour at the brewery with a deliberate lack of head. Deep dark copper-brown, clear at bottom of the glass yet cloudy from the full view. After a few sips I agitated up a short-lived off-white head that left a thin sticky ring.

Toasted malt greets the nose, closely followed by a blend of caramel malt and baked fruits featuring apple, pear and raisin. Roasted malt is low in the smell, floral/herbal hops are faint. Alcohol is well hidden.

Semi-sweet with low bitterness, the roasted/toasted characters blend to keep the caramel/fruit sweetness from getting out-of-hand. Big flavor yet clean and well balanced. A very light astringency, half alcohol half deep roasted grain, appears late in the taste. The finish is gradual, rich malt flavors cling on as the battle of sweet and dry lingers.

Medium full bodied with appropriately moderate carbonation, a little oily-maybe from malt richness. A slow drinker or a quick sipper-alcohol is deceptively hidden. A little more roasted malt and less caramel sweetness and this one would be a perfect match to style guidelines.
