Pours a very cloudy, sediment laden brown frim can. Malts, nutty, slightly to spicy and hoppy. Enjoyable

Pint can from Wine Warehouse, 6/25/22. Hazy dark red, thin tan head, good retention. Aroma of nuts, cherry, toffee. Taste is pine, toffee, caramel, cherry, nuts. Moderate bitterness, well balanced. Expected a bit more hop character, but it's a nice beer.

Mild soil nose. Hazy brown, thin tan head. Mud, with a grapefruit finish. Medium body, easy carbonation, waxy. Was hoping for a traditional Cascadian dark, but got an earthy ABA.
