Can from BD. It pours lightly hazy deep reddish - brown with a medium foamy white head. The aroma is sweet, malt - driven, toffee, treacle, sticky toffee pudding and fruit cake. The taste is dry, bitter, oily, resinous, brown bread, fruit cake, bit of red fruit, chewy, leather, wood and a touch of spice with a drying finish. Medium body, fine carbonation and oily mouth - feel. Not a huge amount to it other than malt. Fair.

16 ounce can into pint glass, canned on 5/2/2016. Pours lightly hazy deep reddish copper color with a 1-2 finger dense khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas big caramel, brown sugar, brown bread, toasted biscuit, nuttiness, light roast, citrus peel, herbal, grass, light pepper/pine, and toasted earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/bready malt and light-moderate citrus/earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big caramel, brown sugar, brown bread, toasted biscuit, nuttiness, light roast, citrus peel, herbal, grass, light pepper/pine, and toasted earthiness. Light herbal/pine bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of caramel, brown sugar, brown bread, toasted biscuit, nuttiness, citrus peel, herbal, grass, and roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Damn nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/bready malt and light-moderate citrus/earthy hops flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance, and zero cloying sweetness after the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready, and slightly sticky/chalky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5%. Overall this is a great red ale! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/bready malt and light-moderate citrus/earthy hops flavors; very smooth and easy to drink. Very rich and complex on malt flavors for the ABV; with balancing hop character. A very enjoyable offering.
