UPDATED: MAY 27, 2012 Deep brown color with a small off-white head. The nose is pretty neutral, some caramel, light sweet notes, some leather. The taste is suprisingly robust, plenty of sweet toffee notes, some wood, the finish is medium dry. The body’s medium, the carbonation light. Overall, an above-average bitter. Pleasingly ramped-up classic bitter flavors. Good for the style.
