(Tap sample @ Bar Hop, Toronto, Jan 15/18) Pours clear copper brown with a big, long lasting fine dark tan head and a wall of lace. Notes are very watery dark malt, light sweetness; toast, black tea, astringency, bare hint of vanilla, no real lactose sweetness, lingering mouth coating tea astringency. Watery thin mouthfeel with basically no carb. From the description I was expecting something rather London Fog-inspired, but in the end the black tea without the sweetness of the other adjuncts made for a less than drinkable light beer.
