Can to English pint glass.
Appearance: dark brown color with a two finger eggshell white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: deep earthy tones, dark chocolate, sweet wafer-like tones/biscuits, milk chocolate, dark fruity yeasty character and a touch of leather
Flavor: matches the prior noted aromas to a roasty to sweet quality then finishes with the dark chocolate and dark fruity yeast
Texture: light bodied, sessionable, very smooth along the tongue, dry along the tongue and low carb
Overall: I love it! This is what you call an English dark mild ale! This style was meant to be low and I'm glad an American brewer figured that out. Good job with studying some beer history!

Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: golden yellow in color, one finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave very little lace
Aroma: green apples, white pears, white grapes, acidic funky character, vinous, grassy hop sweetness, light barrel notes and a kiss of sourness
Flavor: wraps the prior noted aromas up to a semi-sour to funky sweet and vinous; finishes somewhat sour to funky and white grapey
Texture: medium bodied, definitely a sipper! Not as smooth as I thought it could have been but I'm not complaining, vinous/acidic sharp on the tongue
Overall: okay to me but I'm not a wine drinker and I bet wine drinkers might think this is the bees knees.

Canned on 10/29/2025.
Can to snifter.
Appearance: pours brown and shows black in the glass with a slim khaki foamy head which dissipated nicely but barely left any lace.
Aroma: smoked malts (ever so slight bacon-like notes but even those seem very in and out), nice roasty aspect, subtle dark chocolate and subtle sweet grains
Flavor: smoky sweet but adds in some dark fruits and toasted nuts; finishes smoky, dark fruity and some dark chocolate
Texture: medium bodied, great sipper, very smooth along the tongue with a touch of stickiness
Overall: an absolutely awesome smoked Baltic porter I'd definitely be happy to come back to on a cold Winter's night.

Pours a hazy, orange-pineapple, with minimal head. Aroma is quite dank, with a note of green onion/garlic upfront, along with citrus and tropical fruit. Flavors follow, including the dankness. Soft mouthfeel. Moderate hop bitterness at the finish. Really good stuff.
