Dark amber, good head. Malt, smoke and chlorophenols aroma. Pretty phenolic. There's a VERY good beer under here somewhere. Very much like Portland MacTarnahan's. "Whiskey beer" ... sorta like making a beer out of a whiskey mash, no distillation. Filled out a marketing survey yesterday at Buffalo Bill's in exchange for a free pint of this stuff.

Other than the mercaptans, it's a slightly bigger version of the Light. If you buy it, buy it from a closed case. -

Golden, moderate carbonation, good head. Hint of hop aroma, more than a hint of mercaptans. Good body, good malty flavor...with some corn, maybe? OK bitterness in finish, but kinda sticky at the same time.
