At Other Half: Lots of caramel. Very traditional American marzen with loads of caramel and sweetness. Light earthy bitterness.

A 16 oz can delivered by Half Time a few months ago, the time to sample is now. Flip the tab before tilting into a globe glass. I determine a dark cola brown body followed by a thin rim of off-white bubbles. The smell is very ripe, dark fruit and baked bread. The taste I get is yellow plums, black plums, grain, malt, bubble gum, cough syrup and sorghum. A different approach at a Belgian dark ale but I can appreciate. Slightly sweet, a bit sour, some funk. Not bad, not great.

5oz pour at TOF, aka, The Owl Farm, pours a clear, dark gold with some sudsy white head. Mosaic jumps out of the glass, grassy, creamy almost, some candy and pale grist, some potpourri. El Dorado comes in the flavor, lemony, the Mosaic still shining with green grass, some melon and tropical now, a little candy. The Belgian base arrives with a peppery back end. Nicely made and nicely balanced.

Super dark, very hazy and muddied rih brown coloured body with a thick, but very fast-dying tan head, that starts around 5 centimetres tall and dies to just about nothing only a few seconds later. Aroma of pitted fruits, earth, rustic maltiness, some nuts and grain with a lot more of the bretty and soured yeast notes, but the pitted fruits and pure sweetness remain supreme here with a lot of cherry and slightly tart elements to keep this interesting and complex, but th malts are strong. Medium-bodied; Strong earthy and rustic malt qualities dominate here with a lot of nuts, caramelised sugars and grain here that bring out a lot of deep flavours and pungency with some associated bitterness and alcohol and a lot of tart cherry and fruit flavours still come through, especially at the end, perhaps due to the funky yeast, but once again, it adds to the complexity. Aftertaste is robust, especially on the end, with the thinnish product adding to the earthy and also tart flavours with the rustic malts coming out first and then with some sweetness and sourness, the fruits finish it off. Overall, I'm not really sure what to make of this one, it seems like a well-intended product was a bit short-sided and funky with some strong notes that don't really translate, but the ending complexity and funkiness are nice, surprisingly. Neat to try but probably not worth going out to buy, unless you are ready for an experiment or a nature in complexity. I sampled this sixten ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Murray's Cheese in New York (Greenwich Village), New York on 21-August-2021 for US$5,99 sampled on 10-December-2021 for my #10 Advent Calendar Beer for the season, at my house here in Washington.

16 ounce can. Number one with a bullet. Hazy yellow gold color. Small bubbly white head. Earthy yeasty malt aroma hints at lemongrass and white grapes. First sip is tangy yeast, cut grass and passion fruit. Soft mouthfeel. Light citrusy notes that include grapefruit and pineapple. Nicely balanced with a refined complexity that harkens to great Belgian Golden Ales of Flanders.
