Deep brown & cola coloured body with a brown glow and a relatively thinnish, single centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of lactic sugars, malt, roasted nuts, earth and a bit of coffee, all with some caramel notes. Light-bodied; Strong lactic note up front with a very thin body and a light vanilla and malt flavour with little else giving this depth. Aftertaste shows some sweetness from caramel and milk and not much else, aside from some vanilla and light coffee notes. Overall, a pretty subdued beer, but with the ABV at this level, it was almost expected. Not a bad offering for the winter weather, but don’t expect too much from this one. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Belmont Station in Portland, Oregon on 07-December-2013 for US$5,50 sampled at home in Washington on New Year’s Day, 01-January-2015.
