[Tap] Copper pour with a nice looking foam head on top. Sweet caramel, grains and bready aromas. Sticky malts shine through in the flavor as well. Grains, herbal bitterness and some light spice notes too. Overall on the sweet side, but this is still pretty tasty. Tasting notes from Big Blue Craft Beer Festival in Sheboygan on 10/18/14.

Bottle from Rays in Tosa. Pours a hazy orangey-amber with a bit of an off-white head. Aroma has toffee, candied fruits, some fruity hops and some spices. Taste is of sweet toffee malts, some fruit, some spices. Medium bodied and almost syrupy. Finishes sweetly bitter. Somewhere between a double IPA and an amber, IMO. 13.7

335ml bottle. Amber pour with a quickly dissipating head. The smell is rich caramel, herbs, toasted bread, and a hint of tropical fruits in the end. The flavor is well balanced but finishing a bit dry. It has sweetness that goes really nicely with the hops with a caramel and apple/pear type flavor and spice. Perfect autumn/winter ale.

This pours a hazy, dark amber color with a foamy off-white head. The aroma is fairly malty with small hints of hops. The flavor is big and bold with malt flavor in the beginning that moves onto a bitter finish as the beer progresses. Lots of bold and bitter grain flavor. Very well made.
