Pours very dark amber with a thick frothy head that lasts forever. Sweet malts with some hops for balance. Pretty good flavor and easy to drink but just a tad watery mouth feel, nothing really special.

3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Clearance bottle at Famous Liquors. Yes, likely out of date, and the resaon for some oxidation under the cap. But also some sharp prickly hop smell as well. Pours a clean, ruddy brown color with a big head of foam. Has the familiar earthy nuttiness to the Goose Hex Nut and similar beers. A bit more roast to it, maybe even some smoke, slides toward the Porter end. Hearty and filling.

Pours brown color with a medium head. Aroma of hops, dark fruits, caramel malts, toffee and mild nutty notes. Flavor is pretty much the same. A bit too sweet though.
