Aroma is very pleasant - nutty caramel - early fall day. It does go downhill a bit from there. Body is weak. Finish similar to throwing down a bunch of roasted holiday peanuts. Overall - better than average.

I would argue with the brewer’s characterization of full-bodied. Actually pretty hollow on my palate. A decent nose and medicore flavor give way to a beer with no backbone and no mouthfeel.
