Can from Westhill Service Station. It pours hazy opaque darkest brown with a quickly dissipating khaki head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, toasted pecan, savoury, salty, pecan pie, maple, dried fruits, raisin, sultana, fruit cake, earthy roast, umami, cacao nibs and coffee grounds. The taste is dry, roasty, bitter - sweet, umami, savoury, salty, toasted pecans, pecan pie, light tannin, bitter dark chocolate, brownies, maple glaze donut, coffee grounds and a touch of spice with a dry, toasty finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Does what it says on the tin, but thankfully isn't nearly as sweet as I feared. Not bad. Could be done with a bit more condition.
