Bit hazy, amber-brown. Sweet caramel, fig and toffee. Similar palate but with more golden syrup stickiness, veering ever so slightly into date country. Excellent, really hitting their pocket of English-inspired American beers.

On tap at Optimism, pours a deep dark mahogany with a small beige head. Aroma brings out dark dried fruits, toffee and brown sugar. Flavour brings out lots of plums, other dark fruits, and some brown sugar. Super malty, with a big plum finish. A little too malty for me, but it works well.
