12 oz. can. A few months old. Pours a dark, clearer, ruby, brown color, with a medium, beige head. The aroma is roasted pecans, toffee, pine sap, pumpernickel, and brown sugar. Sweet and malty, with an acrid bitterness. Medium body, with a sticky, grainy palate. A solid brown ale, if a little rough and harsh.

Bottle shared by BVery, last of the evening. Black color of course. Bottle. Heavy roast on this beer. Aroma has burnt toast and malt. Flavor is a blend of sweetness from malt, but also grain that are heavily roasted. Good, thick palate.
