Can... Rating # 3500... Beautiful, deep, dark, ruby ale with a mid-sized, creamy, khaki head. Terrific, everlasting retention. Cocoa, rich caramel, Merlot and brown sugar nose with a healthy helping of piney hops and a whisper of lactic acidity. Roasty, bitter-sweet flavor provides creamy caramel and chocolate, alongside medium, earthy bitterness and light acidity. Remarkably, almost full-bodied and velvety with lively carbonation. Bitter, mildly sour finish. Mega-Thanks to robertsreality for shipping this treat to Florida!

Can from allendodd. Thanks loads! Pours a very dark brown with a foamy tan head. Aromas of chocolate and treacle. Medium body with frothy carbonation. Flavors of citrus/resin over nicely roasted malt. Treacle too. Very smooth brown ale. But with lots of flavor. Finishes with a nice level of bitter on the rear tongue edges. Good beer.

A Mes rate: Can at Chris O’s Shindig. Another goode canned offering from Surly. Darkish brown with a reasonable creamy head. Lots of malt, lots of hops, plenty of fruit, obvious alcohol even at a reasonably restrained abv. Some caramel and a bitter ing finish. No finesse but pretty tasty.

16oz can shared courtesy of Josh. Poured a deep mahogany color with a small sized off white head. Aromas of chocolate, toasted nuts, and caramel. Tastes of nuts, oats, chocolate, caramel and light coffee. Started out lighlty sour (oatmeal) and finished on the sweeter side.
