Shared with guys at BAT 6/2021. Rather thin body, med-high carbonation. Med-high bitterness, mostly of dark roasty origin. Also medium toffeeish and buttery sweetness, definite diacetyl presence. Overall malt centered, hops in the background. Good, but not great.

Bottle from friend brougt from brewery, many thanks. Caramale, light hops in aroma. Taste, sweet malt, alcoholic bitterness, light hops. Too much boozy for me. Lowering of sweetness and alcoholic feeling would do this beer more drinkable.
