Can pour into nonic pint glass from Downtown Discount Beverage. Appearance is murky dark brown (cross between iced tea and muddy water when held up to the light), effervescent sparkle at edges of glass, quickly-dissipating 1/2-finger beige head with no lacing. Aroma is strong roasted malts and coffee, milder baker's chocolate. Taste is strong roasted coffee (bordering on char), roasted malt. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with slightly-thicker-than-water texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, delicious, strong coffee but not much else..

Bottle at home in NH - picked up at the brewery. Pours unclear gold with a creamy white head. Very nice stuff, with assertive acidity, pale oak, lemon, salty sweat. Light bodied with average carbonation. Quenching finish. Solid.

Bold aroma of danky pine, hay, wheat. Taste has melon pulp, maybe mango, with a good amount of lasting pain. A little bit of juicy character. Assertive bitterness that is mellow by the juicy fruit character. Good.

1 Pint can (little US 16 fl oz or 473ml, take your pick) from Beer 52. Canned 19th Feb 2019, drank at home on 27th Apr 2019. Cloudy and murky body with floaters, the colour a dull orange affair, some off-white foam on top. Dank hops with an orange like lead in both the aroma and taste, light malty base and more than a hint of resin/spruce flavours as it warmed a little in my glass.
