16 oz can poured, picked up at Hop and Hound. First Triple of the year. Pours dark. Dense copper appearance. White foam head. Tons of bold, slightly sweet caramel malt, with a big piney bitter balance. Cool finish. Drinks easier than the double digits would indicate. Very flavorful triple, that leans slightly to the maltier side. Bready palate linger. A light warming feel. Strong ale all the way. But smooth and easy drinking. Quite enjoyable.
