Pint can poured into generic pint glass. Can art is superior. Limited head (as expected)…Light smoke, which I prefer. Malty goodness. Very good brew…deliciousness increases as it warms.

16oz can served in a curvy Monhegan pint glass. Think the canned on date is 03/03/2025.

Pours dark reddish-brown with a big, two finger , dense head that settles into a pretty even, pretty thick skin. Smell is moderate campfire, dates and figs, stewed cherries, malty.

Taste is again moderate smoke, sweet and earthy, dates and figs and a little wood. Something bright and fruity in the aftertaste makes it really interesting.

Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a nice prickly effervescence. Very good, interesting beer, wish it was a little smokier.
