22oz bomber. No date. It's a beer that could have so many problems but none were present. Not astringent, not boozy not barrel heavy, not overly sweet, and not overly fruity. An English style with low hoppiness and a toasted toffee chewy malt flavor. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

22 oz bomber purchased at the brewery in Martin City, Missouri. The pour is a hazed brown ruby with a ½ inch tan head. The aroma is caramel malt, cherry fruit sweet malt, along with a touch of metallic. As the beer warms, nice brown sugar and brandy are present. The taste is the strong sweet malt character along with wood and boozy brandy. Grass and earth are evident in back, which rounded the beer out nicely. At room temperature, the taste settles into a nice brown sugar brandy combination. The palate is medium to heavy bodied with soft carbonation and a lingering sweet booze finish, though not as much of an alcohol as was expected with the high ABV. Solid take on the style.
