Deep, dark brown coloured body with about 75 per cent opacity and a nice two to three centimetre tall rich brown head - very nice throughout. Aroma of pungent milk chocolate, lactose, nuts, earth, brown sugars, molasses and a dash of fruit and cherries at the end. Medium to almost Full-bodied; Rich deep roasted malts dominate with a lot of light spices, ranging from anise to allspice and a bunch of caramelised sugar notes with molasses the strongest and inishing out with some lactose, a strong nuttiness from walnuts and a touch of vanilla at the end. Aftertaste is quite complex, as well, with toffee, alcohol, grain and chocolate the strongest, but a wide-ranging hit of sugars to spices keep this interesting and complex, in a great way. Overall, a very nice beer, with tons of flavour, a great complexity AND depth, but still easy-ish drinking on one of the last cold-ish (lows in 30s, sad that in this town that is considered chilly) days of the season here in D.C. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 21--December-2019 for US$1,99 sampled at home in Washington on 22-March-2020.
