Sampled at Veteran’s Wine. Clear, bubbly brown, with a small, beige head. The nose is peat and smoky malts, with some vanilla, pine, and toffee. Sweet and malty, with a hint of bitterness. Medium body, chalky, syrupy, and clingy, but with a clean finish. This is a nice malt bomb.

On tap @ Declaration. A little hazy, burnt orange appearance with a tan head. A touch boozy and sweet but not bad. Toffee, light fruit, grass, herbs. One of the better releases from them.

Tap at the brewery - kind of a thin and lifeless rendition of a style that can have so much depth - sweet and sugary, with maybe a little bit of plum character, a touch of saltiness on the tail end - otherwise a watery, thin, characterless rendition of the style.
