6.8/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 6.5 Texture 7 Overall 6.5
Eight ounce pour for $10 at Good Karma while in town for work.

Dark russet/dark amber sort of pour, weak head.
Chocolate red wine nose with some grassiness.
Astringent upfront over-steeped tea flavor over a chocolate-y malt note; bounty of aged hops add some herbal to cut it. Hinting oxidation.
Creamy with proper attenuation. Bittersweet leaning bitter. Mid-low but constant carbonation.

Kinda good enough.

Draft. Rich amber beer with a cream head. Sweet caramel aroma. Sweet caramel and red fruit flavor. Medium-plus bodied. Sweet caramel and red fruit lingers with light alcohol.
