12 ounce can, no dating that I was able to find on it. Served in a pint glass, the beer pours a mostly clear reddish/amber color with about an inch and a half off-white head. Head retention and lacing are both good. The brew smells like toasted malt, toffee, caramel and some raisin. Taste is similar to the aroma, but there's also a bit of coffee flavor noticeable too. Mouthfeel/body is light/medium, it's smooth, easy to drink and a bit coating. I thought it was an enjoyable brew, I wouldn't mind drinking this again in the future! $2.29 a single can.

I tried this at the brewery. It poured a dark clear amber with white head that left some lace. The scent had malty notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with malt start and slight hop bitter finish. The mouthfeel was medium in body with good carbonation. Overall its a good beer.
