Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Dark amber color, hazy. The aroma is simple, some malt, caramel, roasted nuts. Good body, but lacking of a rounder mouthfeel; nutty and toasted caramel flavor, with a touch of smoke; correct bitterness, with a nutty final. Pleasant, but without excellence, mostly lacking in a better and flavorful malt backbone.
