bottle thanks to the farmer known as cletus. poured amberish almost brown with a beige head. aroma was caramel, toffee, dark fruit, slight finger nail polish, and brown sugar. flavor was caramel, grape, and alcohol. body was medium with medium carbonation. A really enjoyable old ale, especially because I am tired of hops right now.
