Ever so slightly hazy coppered and bronze coloured body with a very thick, and quite soapy off-white head, about five centimetres tall. Aroma of light metal, some caramel and toffee with a quite earthy and nutty malt profile and showing some lower alpha acid hops (Germany/England?) with some bitterness noticeable towards the end and a hint of alcohol showing up in the nose. Medium-bodied; Deep metallic and earthy malt shows at first with a lot of alcohol and nuts around the edges and a touch of pungent grain and a tiny amount of sweetness that seems to come all from caramelised sugars and toffee and no fruits at all. Aftertaste shows some deeper malt and earthy notes with not much complexity or bitterness - more of an amber ale than anything else without much hops. Overall, a decent beer, but not for the style - this was lacking a big hop character, any signficance of bitterness and hardly any complexity - especially at the end with only some malts, caramel, nuts and alcohol at the end. I sampled this stubby twelve ounce bottle purchased from Habersham Beverage Warehouse in Savannah, Georgia on 04-May-2018 for US$2,59 sampled in my hotel room here in Orlando, Florida on 07-May-2018.
