A - This is a clean looking light-brown ale that is perfectly clear and the color of thinned wood stain. The tiny head only lasts for a few seconds before reducing to a very small collar. After a minute in the glass, this looks like flat root beer.

S - Ok, now things are looking up a bit. Brown sugar, chestnuts, peanut butter, and Chic-O-Sticks. Remember those orange sticks that could be had at penny candy stores? This has that same sugary peanut butter note. Could use a bit more horsepower on the nose, but the aromas that are presented here are very pleasant.

T - The favors are very much an amplified version of the aromatics. Light nuttiness along with a bourbon-glaze brown sugar sweetness. Chic-O-Sticks keep coming to mind, along with marzipan and Mr. Pibb.

M - Light bodied and very gently carbonated with a sweet brown-sugar finish that could become cloying should you choose to enjoy more than two of these in one sitting.

D - I really like the flavors, but I can't help feeling that they went a little half-assed with this one. What I'm smelling and tasting is excellent, I just wish I could smell and taste more of those aspects. But, this is intended to me a mild brew based on the style so I really can't fault it for that. This is a tasty, but underpowered. A decent session choice though!
