Medium brown filtered with 3 fingers of beige head.
Smells of toasted malts, toffee and caramel.
The taste follows the nose with random sour and acrid notes.
Medium light body with moderate carbonation.
I got this in NC and am drinking it in Redding, July 17th, 2020.

On tap in Hendersonville, NC.
Poured dark brown with a fine tan head and ample lacing.
Rich medium malts flavor and aroma with some darker malts too. Straightforward but very well crafted.
Medium body and medium+ carbonation.
