Caramel? In GI Winter? They add half a litre of vanilla extract to every six pack (exaggeration). How strong is your palette to pick out Caramel?

Also, the Chestnut was better as a bomber.

Saaz is great, the Marzen was alright. Monkey Fist stuck out like a sore thumb in BC. Traditional English malty IPAs just don't do well anymore.
