BeerGuy, I'm gonna ding you points for vagueness. Be more specific.

BeerGuy said...

Heh.

Well, it's dark.

And mild :)

Nothing crazy with flavor, some roasty stuff going on, nothing too offensive in the body (not too watery on one end/not syrupy or slick in the other). I'm not the best at describing a flavor of a beer like that, its not an aggressive beer but that's alright.

Good to see that Hambleton Nightmare cask make the rounds, had it at Mahaffey's and then Frisco. The clientele at Max's should enjoy that quite a bit as well.
