Poured from a 16 oz can dated November 20, 2020. Aroma is malt forward with quite a bit of toasted bread, roast and lighter chocolate notes. Light caramel and toffee notes. Medium light hop notes, grassy, herbal and some light citrus notes. Hints of alcohol. Pours back with dark brown hues on the edges and a large, thick, pillowy, light mocha head that shows nice retention as it slowly recedes to a small film that lingers. High amount of lacing and faint legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with fairly strong malt notes. Lots of toasted bread, roast, chocolate and lighter toffee and caramel notes. Medium bitterness and light alcohol spice. Moderate hop notes that are herbal and a bit spicy with light grassy notes and hints of pine and citrus. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid beer. Lots of wet hop character with quite a bit of malt notes as well. I'm not sure if this is different than their other tipple, but the other listings don't mention wet hopping.
