330ml can. Pours a clear ochre with a thin white head. Aroma is sweet grain and cooked vegetables. Taste is similar with some paper thrown in for good luck. Light bitter finish. Rather sad. Can reads “champions deserve champion beer” - well I’d hate to try “loser beer”.

Bottle shared by trapped: pours near black with a beige head. Aroma is chocolate, molasses. Not too sweet, some residual bitterness at the end. Indeed smooth.

Sought this out due to a recent Zythophile post. 340ml bottle. Very dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma of caramel/ butterscotch and heavy roasted malt. Some spices and maybe a little cardboard. 6+ Interesting - a big buttery caramel syrup note but it's really not sweet and the roasted/ burnt notes achieve balance nicely. I'm a sucker for a finish that's different but works. bb 8/19 but seems pretty fresh.
