16 oz can dated 11/30/23 and poured into a pint glass has a murky, dirty brown body that has a clear, ruddy glow when backlit. A tall 2+ inch head of mocha colored head lasts before falling to a clumpy cap leaving the glass coated with webbed lacing.

Subdued aroma is roast malt forward with nutty and toasted bread dominant and the flavor matches. Strong roast that hints at, but doesn't quite reach, coffee bean level.

Full and slick mouthfeel.

Overall a nice beer for rainy, dark, days and matches with fish and chips.

 

Foamy head, fairly long-lived. Pours a deep reddish brown. Smell not remarkable. Malty, well-balanced, moves from a bit sweet to slightly bitter. Smooth mouthfeel, not much carbonation. Not heavy. Quite tasty and refreshing. Excellent.

Pours deep amber/brown with very good clarity; khaki head with excellent cap retention, heavy ring and soapy lacing. Floral hop nose. Toasted malt taste; almost sweet, still with a bitter Saaz hop bite; cereal ending, like puffed wheat cereal. Medium light body, moderate minus carbonation. Overall, crisp and clean; very enjoyable.
