look: 3.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 2.5
Ruby brown with puffy taupe foam that fades. 3.5
Raspberry tartness and phenolic Band-Aid nose - no hops or coffee, not promising. 3
A bit of brownie, ash, earth, vinegar, lots of smoke, no real hops. 3
Grape skin + Angostura end and tannic linger.
Crisp, round, mostly light. 3.75

Plastic! Some of those phenols are from the smoked malt, I’m sure, but they bury the hops, any supposed coffee, and just about everything else. This is not banging fresh, but considering this may just be poorly executed, that doesn’t excuse what has no signs of ever having been a CDA. Pokertree continue to have QC issues.

Drainpour. 2.5
