York River draught, 12/12/24. Clear, dark auburn. Small, tan head, low retention. Milky, buttery, tannic, rich. Deep chocolate and buttered rum with light oak tannin. Big diacetyl character with chewy coffee and a rather light body. Not too much barrel character. Tastes like it could be about 6%. And full of butter. But not quite thin. Was not excited to try a beer from this brewery and was justified and will continue to avoid them.
