Tasting Notes:
This beer is dark but does not taste dark. It is very smooth. While sparging I could smell the sweet corn smell of the wort. It is an extremely easy beer to drink a few of. Smooth without much hop taste in the way, very malt forward without being to bold. I could drink this beer again and again without question.
