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.

My wonderful wife was kind enough to get me a beer of the month subscription. This is one of the beers that arrived, magically at my doorstep. This is a pretty hoppy beer. Had it not been sent to me, I probably wouldn't have tried it. I'm glad I did. This was a darn enjoyable beer. I can't say I'm crazy about the finish on it, but I really enjoy the aroma and the initial flavor.
