Mostly just paper and straw. Not a lot of saaz here. Golden pour with decent head. Clean finish, but not bitter or crisp. Tap at brewery.

12/11/2024. Can shared by SHIG, cheers! Pours close to black with a small bubbly beige head. Aroma is cocoa, chocolate, dark fruits, Fry’s Turkish Delight. Medium sweetness and curiously heavy tartness. Medium body, average carbonation. Nice aroma but not so enjoyable to taste.
