Nice dark near black, with a brownish tinge in ambient lighting and a nice ruby colour in brighter light. Nice tan head that sits along the edges of the glass.
Aroma - 3.5
Sweet malty aroma with some nuttyness to it.
Mouthfeel - 4.0
Nice beer with a medium to slightly heavy feel in the mouth. Just enough carbonation to tingle the tongue a bit and not leave it seeming flat.
Taste - 3.5
Nice malty taste that gets a bit sweet which quickly gets mellowed out by a bit of hoppy bitterness.
Overall - 3.5
A good beer, and my first taste of New York's choices. A good beer I'd recommend anyone to try when in an area and it's available.

It pours a black color that you can just barely see through with ruby highlights when held up to the light. It has 1 fingers worth of tan head that settles pretty quickly leaving small traces on the inside of the glass. Looks like a decent brew.
Aroma - 4.0
Some sweet malts, chocolate and nuts are most prevelant in the aroma.
Mouthfeel - 4.0
A medium bodied beer that feels smooth with a medium amount of carbonation that tingles in your mouth.
Taste - 4.0
In the front is a malty flavor with the sweet caramel and chocolate taste. It ends with some citrusy notes from the hops. The hops balance the sweet taste very well.
Overall - 4.0
Because of the delicious flavor and crisp taste, it's very drinkable. This is probably my favorite in the trail mix variety pack.
