Somewhat turbid yet attractively brick red to almost varnished cherrywood brown under a fairly short but decent khaki foam head.

Lovely maple bruleed oats and praline pair with a bit of an oaky, boozy bite smoothed by dark red wine or tannin vibes without being too drying or bitter. Barleywine caramels then subtly balance that, as the scales tip gently back and forth.

Crazy easy to drink for the horsepower.
