Deep dark brown coloured body with a relatively thick two to three centimetre tall tan head that stays afloat nicely. Aroma of almonds, walnuts, a dash of yeast and bread with some soft lactose and caramelised sugars towards the finish, but the malt dominates here. Medium-bodied; Slight creamy and milky quality noticeable at first with some nuts and earthiness right behind and malt with a good hit of caramelised sugars and rustic qualities with the sweetness creeping through at the end and showing stronger than the malts. Aftertaste shows some nuttiness and rustic qualities with a lactic and creamy bite and a good dose of sugars throughout, all with the nuts and malt stronger than anything else. Overall, a nice nutty and earthy beer with a slight creamy and lactose flavour with smooth sugars, but a nice rounded bite throughout. Good to sample and well worth the space in my suitcase! I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Marceller's Vintage Wines & Brews in Idaho Falls, Idaho on 04-August-2020 for US$2,10 sampled at my house back on the other coast in Washington on 19-January-2021.
