Great 3.3% beer. This might ultimately be my last-ever beer from them. RIP 1840.

12 oz goblet draft at Cafe Centraal in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The pour is a black brown with a small off white head. The aroma is faint and some soft roast. The taste is soft roast along with a bit of toasted malt, finishing with the limited malt sweetness. The palate is light bodied with lower carbonation and a faint mineral roast finish. A bit dull.
