A deep red, Trappist style ale with aromas of dark fruit and caramel with low hop bitterness.

V42 is the name of the iconic stiletto knife carried by the First Special Service Force, and is seen on the Special Forces regimental crest and the Longtab logo. V is for Victory, designed in 1942 - thus "V42".

On tap. Dark brown color with an inch of fluffy tan colored head. Smells of roasted malt. Medium body. Roasted malt with some fruity notes and floral hops on the finish. Good

Dark amber ale of the"Trappist" style. Color is brown, not dark. Head was weak and dissipated faster than expected. Taste was bland, with hint of oats. Not much mouth feel. Was hoping for more...
