32oz can brought back from the brewery. Caramel amber body, deep, attractive. Thin, oily head...not as much as I’d hoped from the innovative canning system. Sweet, mellow nutty spiced aroma. The body just isn’t there, watery despite lots of delicious flavor. Still a nice Brown Ale, leaning into dessert beer territory. Hmm. Almost like a mildly spiced pumpkin stout at times. OK.

10oz pour at the brewery pours a clear, purpley amber with some spitty, white head. Nose has some brown sugar, some vanilla, a little fake sweetener, some mild flour, a little gristy. Flavor is mostly just sweetness, cookie, vanilla, brown sugar, some Stevia, a little root beer. Slightly cloying. Didn’t love this.
