Amber/brown pour with a two finger cream color head. Carmelly molasses and malt in the nose and the mouth. Solid medium body and good amount of hop character. Pretty clean finish. Their 2nd best beer I’ve had.

650 ml. Translucent dark copper-brown with a two-finger head that hangs around a while. Aroma is earthy smoke and clay mixed with toffee. Flavor is dirty toffee and caramel with some oak, toasted nut, and smoky mint. Medium body is mostly smooth with some ripples of carbonation and tongue-tingle.

Poured a dark brown/black, with minimal white head. Aroma of smoked grains and some caramel and molasses. Flavor of brown sugar. Very dry finish is the only thing that hinders this.

Growler thanks BrianK. Pours a brown body with strong ruby hues. Carmel malt dominates this one with some hop character. Sweet and dry in the finish. eh.
