3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 onceblind (5917) - Denver, Colorado, USA - OCT 10, 2011
GABF 2011. Clear nutty burnt orange with a foamy beige head. Aroma of chestnuts, brown malt, dry biscuity malts, a dash of honey. Flavor is nutty, crisp, biscuity and toasty, a dash of toffee, and all on a medium body. Yet pretty balanced with a hoppy bitterness I cant place my finger on. Pretty swell.

On tap at the Draught House 42nd Anniversary Party.
The beer pours an amber color with a white head. The aroma is heavy on the toffee with a little bit of dark fruit notes. The flavor is more of the same, with some toffee, caramel, grape, chocolate and dark fruit notes - along with some nuttyness. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

(draught) opaque brown-amber, film of off-white head. Nose of toasty marshmallow, nuts, roasty chocolate malt. Taste is spicy, toasty marshmallow, creamy, sassafrass (stealing this from Markus, I agree), chocolate malt, grass, and yeasty wheat/rye bread. Starting to give me heartburn as I drink it. A bit too spicy.

On tap (cask) at the Draught House. Pours an amber/tan body with no head or lacing. Aroma is malty sweet, light toffee and sort of nutty. Flavor is roasty, nutty and lightly English bitter. Light sweetness is balanced with a refined English hops and roastiness. Thin to medium mouthfeel and body. Not my favorite style, but good nonetheless.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20 mmmbeer (1336) - Austin, Texas, USA - MAR 3, 2010
Draught at the Draught House- poured a mildly turbid copper with shades of brown, minimal head and lacing. Aroma of malt and a note of nuts. Hits the mouth with a low medium body, malt is there but isnt as sweet as I expected- very mellow, hops surge comes in the middle, finish as a small nut sensation. Listed as an Amber on the board there, more like an Amber/Brown experimental to me...
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 kidmartinek (3985) - austin, Texas, USA - FEB 23, 2010
Darker, cloudy copper beer that draws clean with little foam or fizz.
Woody, pecan, malt nose. Bitter beginnings. Tart, slightly nutty
taste, but a lasting startchy palate. A bit filling, but still
drinkable. I cant get over how long the nutty finish lasts.
