Hazy brown coloured body with a muddy glow and a thinnish, off-white head. Aroma of toasted malt, nuts, caramelised sugars, yeast and a good deal of oaky scents. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong nutty and malty flavours with a big dose of smoke, peat, caramel and a hit of vanilla at the end as well - nice and robust with a lot of complexity near the end. Aftertaste shows some nice oaky and caramelised sugars with peat and smoke very noticeable and a good complexity throughout. Overall, a nice rich beer with a nice oaky and vanilla complexity with some peat and smoke notes as well - nice and complex with a pleasant sweetness. Good to sample and well worth trying if you can find the bottle or if you are local to Chicago! I sampled this 50 cL bottle purchased at Whole Foods in Washington (Foggy Bottom, Eye Street), D.C. on 25-May-2015 for US$7,99 sampled at home in Washington on 09-May-2017.
