Can (7/31/25) from Total Wine & More, Danvers. Dark, maple-syrup brown, thin, quickly fading cap of head, light sparkle and viscosity, trace lacing. Aroma is strong earthy malt, toffee, molasses. Taste is strong toffee, earthy malt, molasses, as aroma. Smooth, creamy texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste. Not knocking my socks off but good strength and I've had MANY dark lagers that were not this good. I enjoyed it!

12 oz can, thank you tfontana for trade and new brewery tick!! Aroma is light earthy grain, molasses. Flavor is earthy grain, mild cocoa, and soft milled grain texture. Light in body that leans on watery. Just ok.

Canned 5/28/25, drunk 8/6/25.
Right Coast Beverages (Winch & Pulley being their brewing business) took over the space that Exhibit A moved out of and there's no information yet whether this is brewed in that space or contract brewed at Jack's Abby.
Dark and clear with cola highlights and a large, well-retained, light beige head.
Bright and clean with hazelnut and red fruit backed by brown sugar and light toast/roast. Minimal hops adding gentle herbal suggestions.
Malty (base malt, adding lots of honey and toffee notes as it mixes with the tasteful amount of specialty malt) with minimal but not nonexistent hops. Just a bit of earth and herb with light bitterness. Great, expressive flavor and good malt depth and attenuation. Carbonation is a bit lackluster, seeming forced and the beer filtered, but baby steps, I suppose. Can't argue with the cleanliness and clarity of flavor here.

Not sure deal with this brewer seems small little brand. But alas, dark brown pour and daily thick looking. Top is beige foam. Nose is rootbeer, and chocolate. Tatses of roasted malts, toast, rootbeer malt, chocolate. Creamy
