Strong aroma of roasted caramel, almost some chocolate. Not much hop, if any. Hazy amber color with no worthwhile head (bubbles). Thin to medium body with very mild carbonation. Starts with dark fruit and roasted caramel. Something reminiscent of dates. Pretty smooth. With some passage of time mild bitterness begins to show up and build up. It’s a malty thing, and the finish seems weak in hop. Still, it’s tasty, and something rare.
