Deep dark brown coloured body with a rich, thick three to four centimetre tall rich light brown head that stays afloat nicely. Aroma of crisp roasted malts, oatmeal, alcohol, molasses and a good deal of raisins along with some nuttiness and a lot of earthiness at the end that attributes to the bitterness in the nose. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong earthy malts dominate the flavour with a lot of richness and some nice sweetness coming from the molasses and vanilla here with a lot of earthy quality and some smooth raisins and figs towards the end with a little bit of nuts to finish it out and make quite complex, especially with a good deal of alcohol and astringency showing at the end, but not overpowering the sugars. Aftertaste shows a good rich maltiness along with some light smoke notes and even a hint of toasted grain, but the earthiness and complex sugar flavours balances out the pungent alcohol quite nicely. Overall, a great beer for the style and hits nicely in the cold weather here in the mountains, but finishes well and is complex, especially considering it's made in the small operation here. A great beer to sample if you came at the right time to grab it! I sampled this pint from the brewery/bed and breakfast while I was staying there on my wife's 40th birthday on 06-March-2021, sampled for free as a guest at the B&B.
