(Can) Pours black with good dense tan head. Nice aroma of caramel. Great mouthfeel. Full bodied, smooth, a little creamy with fine carbonation. Great taste too. There’s a good caramel sweetness and a steadily growing dark toffee / burnt sugar bitterness, along with more subtle salty notes. There’s some creaminess in the mid palate. Very nice.

Can that pours a dark brown colour with some copper-ruby highlights. The head is big, frothy beige, somewhat creamy leaving some thick lacing. Roasted and caramel malt base with some salty butterscotch notes. The mouthfeel is silky, lightly oily with some decent building dryness in the end. Starts off lightly sweet with the caramel, but the hops do cut this quickly, building up some nice bitterness. Burnt barley is left on the tongue with a tad tart and grassy hop lingering. Could have a little more saltiness to balance the hoppiness. The rest is nice.
