Can (5/19/19) pour into nonic pint glass from Greg & Jane's Beer and Wine. Appearance is dark brown--almost opaque black--but when held to the light a hazy, mahogany/dark orange with nice sparkle, 1.5-finger width beige foamy head with nice retention and light leggy lacing. Aroma is strong lightly roasted caramel malts, woody/earth, maple, vanilla. Taste is caramel, earth, maple and a little bit of sweaty feet. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with thick texture, soft carbonation when cold, average-to-lively as it warms with a hint of alcohol burn and then nice esophageal warmth, and finish as taste. Overall, a nice amount of complexity and things work in harmony for the most part. Enjoyable across the board.

Roast, maple and some caramel. Good, though not next level. Pours black with good mocha head and lacing. A little too much booze. Boozy sweet and bitter end. Can.
