Poured from a 16 oz can dated April 1, 2020. Aroma is malt forward with toasted bread, dark caramel, roast and chocolate notes. Hints of dark fruit with medium light herbal, spicy hop notes. Pours a very dark brown, almost back with a large, thick, pillowy, tan head that recedes slowly to a small, creamy film that lingers. Fairly high amount of lacing and no legs. Flavor has a medium light sweetness with moderately strong notes of toasted bread, dark caramel and toffee. Lighter roast and chocolate notes. Medium to medium high bitterness with a moderate herbal, spicy hop note. Hint of alcohol. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice beer. Hop profile might be a tad strong, but still very refreshing.
