Half pint at the brewery, pours a translucent brown with some off white head. Nose has a lot of botanicals, witch hazel, wormwood, anise, clove, malt is hiding in the back. Thankfully, the malt and caramel lead on the tongue, herbs and botanicals are still there, anise, witch hazel, tea tree, a little clove. Dried fruits now too and some preserved lemon or limoncello. Full bodied and astringent. Unique...

Half pint at the brewery, pours a murky amber with a wisp of off white head. Nose has malt, prunes, raisins, some spice. Nice and not over done. Flavor has some soapy astringency, a little bit which must be the alcohol, otherwise malt and dried fruits, fruit cake. Finishes mostly full bodied. Very tight and restrained.

Deep dark brown coloured body with a nice and relatively thick, tan two centimetre tall head that provides a nice layer after a few minutes. Aroma of smoked meat, toasted malt, caramelised sugars and a dose of cereal with a light hint of dry yeast, but the smoked malt and meats are strongest, by far. Medium-bodied; Strong toasted malt and especially smoked flavours dominate with a lot of malts and also a pleasant sweetness that shows some molasses and pure toffee, but the smoked grain notes are still the most pungent with a mild sweetness and some bitterness, but that's mainly from the malts without any real hop flavours or nuances. Aftertaste shows some grain, bread, smoked meats and malt with a light sweetness, but not much else, this is fairly simplistic and strong, but giving a good dose of both pungency and nuances throughout the beer. Overall, a nice enough smoked lager with a lot of earthy, rustic notes and a good but fairly small sweetness that tries to provide a good balance, but the malt and especially smoked notes are way stronger. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Whole Foods in Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia on 12-October-2020 for US$3,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 14-November-2020.
