    Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8

    22oz bottle -

    Aroma - lots of toffee, caramel, light raisins, some alcohol and wet grain in the aroma.

    Appearance - Beautiful mahogany body, hazy with a light tan creamy thick head.

    Taste - first thing I noticed is how well the sweetness is showcased but still not out of control. Toffee, caramel, light toasted notes, some raisins again and it had a woody bitterness that lingered somewhat. Finish was a tad hot, but expected.

    Palate - smooth, light carbonation fizz, medium fininsh

    Overall - really nice. A sad reminder of what a kick-ass brewer Steve was for Valley and here’s hoping that he lands somewhere and with someone who will utilize his incredible brewing talents.
