Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a snifter.
The appearance was a muddled brown color with a quickly dissipating foamy head. Sliding lace.
The aroma had some sweet caramel with some pomme-like fruits. Some brown sugar and dried leaves. Light milk chocolate and then some woodiness.
The flavor had a touch of sweet malty booziness playing with the wood, somewhat dryly. Slight aftertaste of malts. No finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sipping quality about it. Low carbonation and the ABV felt just a tad under than what was projected by the brewer.
Overall, unsure if I would have again, maybe not necessarily to seek out. But thanks Jeff for the can.
