6.6/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Deep ruby and light amber coloured body with a nice two centimetre tall off-white head that fades very quickly and leaves just a thin layer on top. Aroma of metal, astringent alcohol and bitterness with a deep dose of earthy and grainy malts with some bread and hay around the edges and a light hint of caramelised sugars and figgy sweetness towards the end. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong robust pungent and astringent grainy malts dominate up front, with a lot of grassy, dry and very herbal hops that somehow outlast the deep and bready yeast that does show at the very end, but a deep and malty pungency that hides a bit of the sweetness at the end that comes through from toffee and caramelised sugars. Aftertaste shows some deeper earthy flavours, but a deep hop bitterness from the alpha acids is still around along with a soft sweetness from some pitted fruits and a yeastie and bready finish that shows a deeper side. Overall, a relatively nice and pungent malty, deep toasty beer that has some good sweetness and a strong character throughout. Nice to sample while there is still some snow outside here of my house in Washington. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Hy-Vee in Papillion (Omaha), Nebraska on 21-January-2020 for US$1,99 sampled at my house here in Washington just over a year later on 03-February-2021.
