355ml can - another railroad term, I presume, with which I am not familiar. Apparently 'deadheading' refers to a commercial vehicle making a trip, with no freight or paying customers.
This beer pours a clear, dark orange cola-tinted brown colour, with a teeming tower of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly tan head, which leaves some decent Runic character lace around the glass as it rather lazily recedes.
It smells of roasted caramel malt, biscuity toffee, bittersweet cocoa powder, some earthy nuttiness, faint cafe-au-lait, and some tame leafy, weedy, and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy caramel malt, saltwater taffy, some free-range ashiness, cold coffee grounds, medium chocolate, a hint of real vanilla extract, and more understated earthy, musty, and floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its structurally sound frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and generally smooth, with just a touch of char maybe getting a little too fresh here. It finishes off-dry, the malt and mocha essences predominating.
Overall - this is a very pleasant version of the assumed style, with lots of robust flavours abounding. Well-balanced, and easy to put back, I could certainly see sessioning a few of these in the right environment. Also, to be clear, I'm pretty sure that I paid my fare for this particular experience.
