On tap at The Barley Merchant, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is soft, with lots of oats, no trace of brown sugar (likely fermented all our), and toasted malt. Flavour brings out plenty of brown sugar, toasted malt, and a touch of oats. A bit sweet but the sturdy malt bill helps it out. Pleasant.

Orange-blond, murky. It's mildly fruity, with minimal acidity, and the base is a sludgy, creamy, hazy pale ale, not too dry at least, but all together is a bit clumsy. Low bitterness.
