Pour from a can is mostly tan head on a base of really dark brown ale. Taste is big and bold too, especially for a brown ale. It has lots of malt and quite a bit of that old damp burnt campfire wood feel in there. Directly from the can, there was some co2 but from the glass, its practically flat. Some burnt bitterness starts to roll in during the middle. Towards the finish, it still behaves like a decent brown ale all while delivering a decent euphoric blend.

Dark brown color, spicy and earthy aroma. Sweet malty to start with a spicy, floral mild hop bitterness at the end.

Light roast and some coffee. Really pretty empty, but at least inoffensive. Brown pour with mocha head. Light bitter and mostly clean finish. Can.
