Light brown and chunky. Not much head. Minty, nutty, lightly earthy, leafy aroma. Light nutty notes, minty accents. Fairly refreshing, with good maltiness. Balanced, complex character. Pretty cool stuff, actually.

Bottle: Chestnut brown, no head. Aroma is rather nutty and somewhat fruity. A little bit of the sweet and tart like a sour ale. Tastes of dark fruit and viney. Some nuts and earthiness. Roasty malt. Smokey? Although it maintains a creamy feel, there are hints of the tail of the ABV. Thanks BuckDich!

Explosive volcanic opening to this beer lead to a dirty brown pour with crazy tall rocky tan head. The aroma is rich and varied maltiness and has a nice level of nuttiness. It seems like full on chestnut. The taste is much the same with prunes, figs, and raisins that are rich and yummy. It has a spike of alcohol esters that is out of place just before a nice tasty nuttiness appears and helps take this to the finish. This is pretty good stuff.

Hazy beer, small rim left. Citric nose, lemonbalm, chalk. Nutty taste, malts, ending dull-bready. Very carbonated MF, sharpish. Alchohol, very lightly. Bit indifferent, not one one would get crazy about.
