Bottle pour at Shelton Brothers. Clean malt nose with some prune and light grass. A touch of toffee. Well-balanced on the palate with body, but feels light and refreshing. Light bitterness on the finish. Could drink this all day really.

Deep brown pour with a fizzy tan head. Very thin watery body with harsh carbonation. Chocolate, light roasted malt, some molasses in aroma. Similar flavor. The body is way too thin to support this brew. Ok at best.

Mocna goryczkowa paleta tego piwa mi się podobala. Dlugi dlugasny bardzo gozki finisz. Pachnie syropem klonowym i sokiem z brzozy. Troche spadzi iglastej. W smaku wytrawno gozkie mało slodowe, Bitterek w starym dobrym stylu. Wyglad prawie bez piany leciusieńko mgliste, zabarwienie ciemnej herbaty.
