Can, split with Tim. Pours black, with a small, beige ring. The nose is apple brandy, heavy caramel, espresso, and black bread. Sweet and malty, with a mellow, burnt bitterness. Heavy body, dusty, and bready. Fun and interesting, and surprisingly tasty.

Single from Appalachian. Canned 12/04. Pricey for what it is. Almost clear but a touch of protein haze. Tall but thin, sticky head. Hard water, lemon, band-aid, raw potato sorta nose. Bite-y upfront, bittersweet, mashed potatoes, very veggy, ugly husk, herbal, earth. Crispy, frothy, decent acid but the pronounced vegetal flavor really sucks. This isn't great.

Single from Appalachian. Canned 11/27. Mojito glass @home. Clear gold, frothy but thin head. Herbal-earth, onion-orange nose, slightly medicinal nose. Earthy resin, bitter berry, slightly sweet confectionery, very herbal-dry finish. Slight acid & sharpness, crispy carb, body is a bit heavy & a touch boozy. Not tight enough.

Approachable 375ml bottle from Appalachian. Flute @home with some sparkling wine. Eventually it works it's way into a mojito glass. Hazy, faded dull plum, frothy pour. Jammy, grassy, bittersharp, aged hop nose. Bittersweet raspberries, veggie, lemon oil, sour plum, big acid over a jammy toast middle. Kinda tannic & faintly earthy finish. Extra frothy, a touch boozy, a little of oxidation, more as it warms. Good+.

Single from Appalachian. Pint glass @home. Hazy iced tea, frothy brew. Sharp, astringent muscadine & cherry with a little bitter chem. Twangy muscadine, cherry skin, tangerine, yogurt, leafy green, tea, lemon-lime sour, itchy malt, light earth. Candy watermelon finish. Medium low carb, super sharp, plenty of acid, bit of oxidation, sulfites. My teeth hurt.
