It has a very sweet smell, but it's not very sweet to the taste. It shows an interesting mix of faint caramelized and toasted notes with hop flavors.

A strongly sweet caramelized flavor hints at unpleasantness, but the flavor has none of it. Just a nice amount of toasted malt to offset the hops, simple and uncomplicated. Beat the Kingpin hands-down for me, but it wasn't especially memorable.
