Tasting at Oakes' Manor, can
Dark brown colour. Interesting aroma, bread, malta smell, toasted grains. Even with this lower ABV, it still has a respectable amount of extract, good malt base, sweetish, roasty, roasted grains, more evident in the finish.
Pleasant.

500mL can, pours a deep dark brown / black with a small tan head. Aroma seems sour, with some balsamic, tart notes, and toasted malt. Flavour is quite tart, with toasted malt, a touch of wood varnish, and light balsamic. This doesn't seem quite right, but it's not terrible either.
