12oz bottle, pours a deep, ruby red, almost brown, topped with a thin, beige head. Sweet, malty nose, with caramel, brown sugar, toasty grain, faint peat, earthy, a little metallic. Tastes are malty and very sweet with caramel, earth, toasted grain, a little medicinal on the finish. Somewhat watery mouth-feel, but the carbonation helps it feel a bit fuller. I don't know, this wasn't bad, but it was very sweet and something about it was keeping me from wanting to finish it. One was plenty for me. I'll just call it average.

 

First, one drop turns into ten grams of foam. That is a whole glass of foam. We tried this with all six beers in our six pack. The first two we tried to drink and foam shot out of our nose, mouth, eye and ears! We let he bottle sit for thirty minutes and a slow controlled pour still foamed up uncontrollably. This is an undrinkable beer! There is no practical use for this liquid that I can think of. Althought if you shook one up and threw it through someone's house window it would cause their house to explode!! After an hour of letting it sit where we can drink it, it was still insanely carbonated an barely had any taste. I have purchased an undrinkable drink. Therefore do not buy... Do NOT drink!

 

 

 

 

 

Got this on tap at Farmhouse in Chicago. Pour: was red-brown with slight head. Smell: malted and maybe a little fruity (figs or apricots? Not sure). Taste: smooth and malted. Lots of caramel and a little vanilla with a hint of nuts and fruit. Feel: thicker then expected for low alcohol content. Finish: is weird and not happy, not bad overall, but not good on the finish.
