The smell of this beer is pretty basic ale smell, which is a welcome change from all the Christmas beer. There is a clear hop aroma that isn't overpowering and there is still a slight malt aroma. The color is a a dark amber almost brown that is very clear. There is a slight head of foam on at the top of the glass, giving the cup a nice look.
The taste starts with a malt grain flavor that is mixed with a tannin taste. There is also some hop spice to the beer, but it is quickly overpowered by the malt. The beer drys out quickly and finishes bitter. The mouthfeel is medium a appropriate for a beer with so much malt.
I had higher hopes for this beer when I first smelled with, but once I got a sip my hopes sliped away. I don't like all the malt flavor in this beer, I think it is to dry and bitter because of all the malt. I would like some hop flavor in the beer. This isn't a bad beer, and I will happily finish it, but I would avoid it in the future.
