This beer pours a deep chestnut color and offers a nice bit of head and somewhat sticky lace. The aromas are a tad high strung with malt at the for-front and a very un-balanced bitter chiming in at the tail end. The mouth feel here is light to medium, offering decent crispness for the money. The flavors are nice for the cash spent, but nothing here drives me toward another. I pick up loads of dark rye on the palate. This would be welcomed at an outdoor summer bbq as an alternate to something yellow and fizzing anyday, though this is nothing special.

Serving type: bottle
