Ok…I didn’t hate this one. Darkish undertones with a hint of roast and malt….but not enough to be memorable…frankly I just had it and I already am forgetting the flavor. Unfortunately its very run-of-the-mill…..a very common feel for all GC brews thus far.

Pours a clear reddish brown colour with no head. Zero lacing, But a prevalent nutty, caramel malt aroma and flavor throughout. Hint of chocolate and soft cinnamon notes on the palate. One of the more tolerable brews from this place.
