Dark brown coloured body with a thick, two to three centimetre tall off-white and tan head. Aroma of toasted malts, light molasses and caramelised sugars and a good deal of nuts with some light spices around the edges as well. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong rich malts show through everything with a strong toasted, roasted and even burnt grains all around here with some light nuttiness and a bit more of an earthy bite, but a strong creaminess and richness ends this with a little bit of residual sugars on the end. Aftertaste shows the nuts and a lot of caramelised sugars with a crispness from the grain and a good deal of yeast still noticeable here, as well. Overall, a nice beer that hits the mark nicely for a roasted lager with the yeast still evident, but the malts doing a great job of leading the flavour profile. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, given to me after a hockey game by my teammate, and sampled on the roof of my hockey rink after a game on 26-May-2021, thanks Erik!
