Poured from a 16 oz can dated October 05, 2022. Aroma is grain forward with really nice bread and cracker notes. Slight floral and fruity eaters. Light spicy, herbal hop notes. Hints of alcohol. Pours a very clear, brilliant yellow-gold with a medium large, thick, fluffy, white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers. Moderate lacing and faint legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with notes of bread and cracker with a nice rye spice in the finish. Moderately strong bitterness and hints of alcohol. Light spicy, herbal hop notes that linger into the finish with the rye notes. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid lager even with this age. Nice spice notes from the hops and rye. Alcohol is well hidden. Perhaps a bit bitter. Nice malt complexity with a tasty and aromatic profile.

Excellent full bodied dark lager. Strong roasty aroma thatβs more reminiscent of a stout.

Draft at the source. Very dark brown color light tan head. Aroma of burnt toast and coffee grounds. Taste is dark roast coffee left on the burner too long, in a good way. Delicious.
