6.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Deep copper and light amber coloured body with a ruby glow and a nice two centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of toasted malt, pit fruits, prunes, caramel, earth and a bit of light nuts. Medium-bodied; Sweet, syrupy flavours with caramel and earth the strongest, showing a good dose of pit fruits, some caramel malt and a bit of biscuits with yeast. Aftertaste is quite nice and relatively straight forward with some malt, caramel, toffee, earth and a bit of metal on the finish. Overall, a decent and nice beer, somewhat cloying and a little depth from the earth and caramel but a smooth finish. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Total Wine in Chantilly, Virginia on 31-January-2015 for US$1,99 sampled at home in New Paltz, New York on 21-March-2015.

Draft: Mild peat nose. Clear garnet, thin head. Roasted malt flavor with sour hint of currant. Somewhat cardboardy on the palate. Full bodied and acidic. This may not have been the freshest keg.
