Pours clear mahogany into a tulip. Frothy tan head with good retention recedes leaving spot lacing. Candy corn and musty caramel aromas. Soft with sweet butterscotch and caramel.

Bottle from Bert’s Pours a clear deep golden color with a huge frothy off white head that persists forever. Minerally caramel with hints of dark fruit and a touch of oxidation. The flavor is rich toffee and caramel with a hint of sulfur and yeasty flavors. Medium body moderate to high carbonation. Not horrible, but lacking when compared to English versions. Maybe I’m actually missing the diacetyl.
