A- This is a really good looking beer. Body is a crystal clear dark, rich amber hue. Bubbles can be seen steadily rising to the top. Pours with a 1-2 finger foamy slightly off-white head that eventually fades to a thick collar and has good retention from there. Some lacing sticks all the way down the glass.
S-Nose is good. Rich caramel malt is the main character, molasses is heavy in there as well. A big earthy presence is also there as well as a slightly metallic scent.
T-Taste is mild upfront and offers a mild earthy dirt presence. Some caramel malt and toffee are also there. The finish offers a touch of earthy hops, a touch of roasted malt, toffee, and a big metallic flavor-which is kind of a turn off.
P-Medium to high carbonation and a medium weight body. Slightly oily and pretty smooth.
O- Pretty interesting brew. Looks great, smells great, tastes ok. Decent brew from BBC overall. The only turnoff is that weird metallic presence across the board. The mouthfeel is great and ABV completely hidden. I have a bunch more BBC brews to try around the house and am looking forward to them.
