(Keg at the brewery taproom, 20240516) The beer poured deep amber and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had earth, malts and molasses. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were earth, malts, molasses, toffee and bitterness. Aftertaste was malty and bitter. A tasty malty brew with very bitter finish.
