Bottle. A- Plum, mild charred leaves. A- Dark brown color, dark liquid, light brown head. T- Plums, subtle tang, nesquik powder, molasses, subtle umami. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, slightly tart finish. O- This is clearly highly rated and so I wasn't going to get it but then did based upon those rates. Had never heard of it before picking it up. Lovely plums that protrude with a slightly salty and subtle tangy flavor. A lot of flavors going on really. Don't know if I totally buy the hype but still very tasty.

Roast and some anise. Doesn't come together particularly well. Black pour with mocha head. Tangy cloying finish - a little sour. Some caramel. Can.

Roast and sharp salty oyster. Nicely done as you might expect from these guys. Some light lime. Black pour with decent mocha head. Tangy bitter end. Can.

3 week old bottle A: A narrow glass reveals brown tea colored highlights in a black beer. A small head fell quickly to a ring and left sheets of lace. S: Sweet chocolate and rich dark brown bread over light coffee. T: Roasty coffee and sweet chocolate over faint earthy hops and cola. M: Light body, prickly carbonation and smooth mouthfeel all work toward high drinkability. Not too creamy, finishing clean. O: Tasty, mild, approachable and not too much lactose. Very enjoyable.

6 month old pint can A: Poured a big pillow of tan foam atop a dark brown tea highlighted body. Good retention and thick lacing. S: Coffee and plummy or jammy notes mingle with sweet chocolate. T: Bright tart fruit is noticed first and sits atop bitter chocolate and mild roast. Tart berry or sour cherry lingers into an ashy finish. Not sweet. M: Light, smooth textured and softly carbonated. Dry as promised. O: Lots of flavor for the ABV. I could swear it contained fruit. Very nice.

Nice deep and dark copper coloured body with a brown glow and a thinnish, pure white head, only a cenitmetre or so tall. Aroma of robust caramelised sugars which show treacle, raisins, toffee and a light earthy malt characteristic with some metal and a very small amount of alcohol, all with a lot of nuts and biscuity malt along with a touch of bread and yeast. Light to barely Medium-bodied; Strong and relatively pungent earthy malt that really shows the caramelised sugars and graininess with a lot of bitterness from some leftover hops and a good deal of yeast. Aftertaste shows a lot of bread characteristics along with some earthy and grassy notes, biscuits and a dry, but pungent profile with some leftover alcohol and pungency on the tail end. Overall, a dry and very caramel-forward beer that shows a proper balance, yet leaves the complexities in an ale, as this lager is missing out on a wide breadth of flavours/scents throughout. Overall, a decent enough lager with some caramel and toffee flavours that persist and leave the palate clean but very simplistic without any more complexities noticeable. I sampled this twlve ounce bottle, purchased from Whole Foods in Pentagon City (Arlington), Virginia on 22-October-2019, right before running the USMC Marathon, for US$1,99 sampled after being registered for Next Year's MCM, on 23-March-2020. I sampled this at home in Washington on 23-March-2020.

Bottles from Big Top: pours clear amber with a small head. Aroma is caramel, some typical lager notes. Taste is a little off. Pretty sweet and malty. OK.

From a pint can. Pours a cloudy gold with an off white head. Aromas are dank hay. Flavors are tangy and tart. This one was canned a two and a half months ago. My firs thought was it's infected, but after reading the previous reviews, I'm thinking not.
