Rating number 6,666. 500 ml waxed top bottle from Public in Princeton. Number one with a bullet. Garnet colored pour. Rocky beige head. Subtle, sweet toasted malt aroma. Flavor follows nose. Sweet toasted malt notes upfront. Slight funkiness in middle. Earthy notes; guessing the the open fermentation had something to do with that. Spicy, dried fruit finish. Just enough complexity to make this an enjoyable quaff.
