12oz bottle, thanks to nlmartn for the chance to try this as part of Secret Santa ’07.
Pour is a little dull – both in terms of the color and the lack of life in the appearance. Very malty aroma, with a touch of marzipan. The nose is the best aspect of this brew.
Taste is a little run of the mill. A little flat and it lacks the sparkle, especially in the light of the Great Lakes O’Fest that I had the other day. I suppose that could be bit of a disadvantage and an unfair comparison, but there it is.
Finish lacks edge.
OK beer, but it lacks sharpness for me. One and done.
