Sweet caramel aroma. Brown-reddish in color. Great malty flavor with hints of toffee. Nice hop flavor to balance it out. Very delicious.

A good, unassuming brown. Nothing challenging about it, but very drinkable anyway. A bit nutty, a tiny bit fruity with a roasted malt flavor tying it all together.

Characteristics: malt nutty

This is one beer I can always count on to be a crowd pleaser. Nutty with a lovely caramel bouquet. A very good beer to have on hand.
