Tap at the brewery - dark brown pour - soapy lace - nose of maple, vanilla, roasty dark malts, a touch of mineral - creamy texture - fairly sweet, with notes of vanilla and milk chocolate - but there is plenty of balancing bitterness (from the dark malts), light acidity, leafy tobacco notes, and a dry mineral character that balances this sweetness very well - overall another balanced and enjoyable beer from this brewer.
