Poured from the can into a nonic(k) pint glass. Cute dog!
Real nice body color. Hints nearly copper amber red, but with more of a chestnut color mixing in, somewhere in between the two which is real nice. Definitely a body color shade I don't come across often. Fairly clear, real nice crawling slow pinhead to fine lifts of bubbles, all meeting to a creamy forming off white head. Head is an almost vanilla like yellow and a touch of lacing in the mix here and there. Very nice looking brew.
Nose has a mild sensing caramel, maybe a touch of spice but mostly a simple soft caramel and a good sensing vanilla flavor. Floral/herbality not so much even with added heather tips. Real good creamy character, but definitely feels somewhat out of style.
Palate is a nice mix of varied flavors. Cool almost menthol sensing, but a bit of spicy caramel then a real nice vanilla and biscuit cookie dough flavor in the mid palate. Finishes with real creamy milk and vanilla, biscuit like hinting malt and cookie, with a strawberry classic fruity ester in the mix which is a nice compliment. There's almost a bit of hop bite to this which seems to come in a mint form but is at least subtle.
There's a lot going on here, and it's a bit all over the place, but in a good way. To style with a lot of playful touches, makes for a good malty adaptation.
