Comments: This is another BOM selection from my awesome wife. I am really surprised at how much I like this beer. It's a little watery, but it's extremely smooth and not overly sweet. It's dark - darker than Newcastle. I can't believe how easy this is to drink. It's not at all what I expected, but I'm very happy with it. If you can get your hands on it give it a whirl, you won't regret it. I don't know why I'm surprised, but this beer, from Lake Placid, along with their IPA have made a pretty darn good impression on me. I think I might be up in that region for a business trip this year. If so, I'll be visiting the brewery.

Comments: Hoppier than expected. Smooth and tasty. It's a good change of pace. If I saw this on a menu and looking for a beer I know I'll enjoy, this would fit the bill. The marketing is a bit pretentious, but if you can get past that, it's not too bad.
