Sample from a bottle this beer poured a nut brown color with an orange hue and a medium sized foamy orange-tah head. The aroma was sweet with vegetal malts, a bit of dark fruit and tobacco. The flavor was sweet but astringent with tobacco, a vegetal note and fruity hops. Very long finish. Medium bodied and smooth.

Super crisp and clear deep amber coloured body with a copper glow, along with a ruby tint and a smooth, single to two centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of metal, light grasses, some citrus and a touch of grain along with a noticeable amount of alcohol towards the finish. Medium-bodied; Strong grainy malt note with a lot of alcohol noticeable at first that warms quite nicely along with some grape and pure nutty flavours towards the end that also show a touch of caramel at the finale. Aftertaste shows mainly malt notes with a bit of peated malt, some caramel malts and a heavy hand of just plain nuts towards the end that show some astringency as well. Overall, a nice and well-structured beer that has some good flavours, but the complexity just isn't there, or the range in flavours. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Shopper's Food Warehouse in Falls Church, Virginia on 05-November-2018 for US$1,67 sampled at my brother-in-law's house in Monroe, Connecticut on 21-November-2018.
