Undated can drunk 8/8/26.
Light but readily apparent smoke in the nose is woody, lightly salty, with no excessive old campfire or bacon. Very rich, round malts beside it, easily balancing and showing chocolate and caramel.
Drier than expected based on the richness of the nose, with a similar lightness of smoke. Mostly some oily, light char on the finish and lots of soft caramel-tinged, honey-like base malt throughout. Narrowly focused on chocolate, caramel and light smoke. Despite the dryness and drinkability, I seem to still want more bitterness/acid from somewhere and maybe a little more complexity, as well as more intensity to match the abv (drinks more like a 5 or sub-5% abv beer). But very clean, well-executed and competent.

On tap at Alewives, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is full of goopy oats, moderate hopburn, and a touch of pithy stone fruitiness. Flavour is all chalk with little actual hop expression. Not that much hopburn thankfully, but there are few other redeeming qualities. Useless oaty hop soup.
