ABV: 5.0
IBU: 25

After a long hiatus, the fine folks at Otter Creek Brewing have brought back this beer. And that's a good thing. This is a decent beer, though admittedly not the greatest ever, and I always hate to see when a beer is no longer in production, mainly because that usually means the beer will soon be forgotten and the recipe lost to time. Such a shame.

As can be expected, this one pours a nice brown copper color. The smell isn't very strong, sort of a light maltiness.

There a slight nuttiness in the tasting, but there is a strong bitter aftertaste. I never thought I'd say this about a beer, but this one is almost too smooth, if that's possible.

Worth trying. And would make a quality bar food beer.
