Purchased as a single 16oz can on discount from The Blue Door for $2.00. Poured into a tulip glass. Aged for two months.
L - Clear, motor oil brown-black. No head. Decent lacing.
S - Candied bananas, cherry wood, and dark breads.
T - Smoked peat. Slight hint of cherry, with a bittersweet finish.
F - Medium-bodied, with very little carbonation. Silky, and smooth. Feels like it's 7% ABV.
O - For the hype around it at the bottleshop, and the aging in a cold & dark area, this was pretty average. On the sweet side for sure. Flavor doesn't match nose at all, which is fun. Probably won't get this one again, but it was fine.

Picked up a 16 oz can from the Blue Door Bottleshop 3-31-22 for $5.50. No canning date; consumed 6-16-22.
Beer poured brown with no head.
Nose is of light smoked and toasted malts and a touch of sweet fruits.
Taste is light toasted malts that are touched by cherry esters from the yeast. Finishes with a soft touch of sweetness but nicely balanced.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied and smooth.
Overall an interesting brew with the light smoked cherry emphasis. Pairs well with the smoked gouda cheese i am noshing on!
