We started with base and specialty malts from Epiphany Craft malts and then hit with a subtle addition of pecan smoked barley for depth. This is crispy yet decadent.

Pint can thanks to hershiser2, 9/29/20. Clear dark reddish brown, large foamy tan head, good retention. Aroma of roast, smoke, coffee, something salty. Maybe off? Taste is roast, raisin, chocolate, stone fruit. Medium bodied, a bit prickly. Decent.
