12 oz. can in a trade with tfontana. Canned 05/12/20. Thanks Tom!! Aroma has soft hay, herbs, and soft grape. Flavor is a direct reflection with a little too much caramel malt. Mild grapefruit hints. Good balance. Pretty tasty.

Can (11/2019) pour from Worldwide Wine & Spirits. Appearance is opaque black with trace sparkle at the edges of the glass, 2-finger width light brown foamy head with good retention and trace lacing. Aroma is earthy, European hops and roasted malt, a bit of cherry and even a whiff of banana(!), chocolate. Taste is roasted malt, cherry, bit of astringent alcohol, chocolate. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thin texture, soft carbonation, slight harsh alcohol in the mouth but mild pleasant warmth in the esophagus, and finish as taste. Overall, some very nice elements though harshness of alcohol detracts from the experience--perhaps some additional age would have done this good.
