12 oz. bottle, Julio’s Liquor’s, don’t remember what I paid, it was left downstairs in my basement and forgotten about.. No head or lace. Nose has sweet malts with booze. Taste is all over the place. Caramel malt, burnt bread, toffee and some sort of spicy hop. The flavors in this don’t mesh well for me. Newport needs to retire this and let it die.

Thanks to beerbill for this one - turbid ruby pour - thick, lasting lace - nose is dominated by diacetyl, with some herbal hops and overripe fruit underneath it - diacetyl is fairly strong in the flavor, but the hop profile is big enough to eventually wash it out - some overripe apple acidity - some caramel and toffee - there are a few decent things happening, but there is too much diacetyl to overlook.

Bottle via a trade with beerbill. Pours with a tan head that fades over a bronze body that’s a bit hazy. Aroma was sugary, brown sugar, molasses, corn sugar and candy corn. Taste is sugar, wet malt and cantaloupe. Dry and messy. Ouch!
