Hazy brown and very deep amber/copper coloured body with a thin, single centimetre tall head that fades very fast. Aroma of nuts, alcohol, earth, toffee, bitterness and a bit of funk - not too great in the nose. Light to Medium-bodied; Assertive nutty and malty flavours show first with some grain, rye, funk, earth, pungent alcohol and bitterness come through ending with some caramel and a touch of sugars. Aftertaste shows more bitterness and pungency with some nuts, earth, toffee, grain and a lot of bitterness throughout along with a twinge of alcohol and funk. Overall, not such a great beer, even for the style, but shows at least some characteristics throughout. Not worth trying to find or worth holding onto, unless for some reason you love Ambers, then if that’s the case, you probably aren’t on this site. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Harris Teeter in Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia on 08-January-2016 for US$1,67 sampled at home in Washington almost exactly a year later on 11-January-2017.
