16 oz can purchased as a single at The Wine Thief & Ale Jail in Crystal, Minnesota. The pour is a clear dark copper ruby with a 2 inch foamy light tan head that falls with light lace. The aroma is toffee malt, biscuit and soft smoke. The taste is the toffee malt, biscuit malt sweetness, drying earth character towards the softly smoked finish. The palate is medium to heavier bodied with soft natural carbonation and a mineral toffee malt dry finish that shows some alcohol warmth to the finish. Solid.
