Pale malt aroma with a light touch of grassy hop. Brassy gold color with a fizzy white head that was impressive til it flattened. Medium body with fizzy/creamy carbonation. Almost light caramel malt flavor with very light hop. Pretty dry, near tart, finish. Better than your average American macro.

Pretty tan head and pretty has two meanings there. Leaves a thin, but nice lacing. Almost completely black if not black. Smells of sweet sugary malts with some chocolate thrown in. Roasted malts and sweet dark chocolate in the flavour. Very slight bite to it, but the high alcohol is really covered up. Leaves a little syrupy aftertaste.

Bottle. Pour is a dark brown with a couple fingers of tan head. Looked a little bit thin going into the glass, and my thoughts on the bottle were \"dang, that’s some heavy glass.\" Aromas are burnt malt, leather, and baby food plums. Flavor is smooth and fairly roasty, while mouthfeel is silky and smooth.
