This ale pours with a reddish brown color. It forms a nice head and has a nice roasted, nutty nose that comes through in the flavor as well. Nice and meaty in the mouth. The finish has a slightly stronger nutty flavor. There's a very slight (nice) sweetness in the finish as well. A very smooth beer, not at all bitter. Very drinkable. 5.0% alcohol by volume.
