muddy dark amber, whispy beige head, nice drippy lace, rich malt flavor with lots of earthy hops on a dry carmel malt base, touch of carmel sweetness, a hoppy old ale?

still the heavy handed earthy hops and bitterness, picks up a wonderful carmel sweetness after about an hour that balances it out nicely

spicy chocolate continues to be the dominant aroma,
the chocolate flavor is very dry and earthy, just a touch of caramel sweetness sneaks out ot add balance,

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Yet another growler from Degarth. Thanks. The pour is brown with amber highlights to go along with a tan head and nice lacing. The aroma is a bit mild with some malty roastiness mixed with light dark fruitiness. The taste is much like the aroma with dates, prunes and some raisins that slowly turn more and more into a roasted maltiness. The finish is mostly roasted malts that linger for some time. For an organic beer I didn’t pick up any of the stale malts that have become a hallmark of an organic brew, to me.

Thanks to Josh for sharing this growler. Pours a lightly hazy golden amber with an average off white head. Aroma of earthy hops, hay, a bit bready and caramel malts. Flavor of earthy hops, some toasted malts, nice hop bitterness balanced nicely by the malt.
