Bottle thanks to Dirty D. It pours darkest brown with a decent beige head. The nose is earthy, bitter - sweet, plum, prune, candied sugar, sugared plums, vinous, blackcurrant jam and candy. The taste is toast, roasted malt, bitter - sweet, prune, plum, cocoa, tangy dark fruits, jam and charred wood with a short, dry finish. Light - medium body and fine carbonation. Interesting enough, but I’m not sure the balance is there.

Bottle shared in Richmond - many thanks to Daniel. Pours clear, rich brown with a creamy tan head. The aroma hold toasted brown bread, with hints of cocoa. Light sweet flavor with notes of dry smoke, scorched earth, dried out leather. Light bodied with average carbonation. Drying on the finish with more scorched earth, light baking cocoa, dry burnt toast. Pretty simple but not bad.

Bottle thanks to Danny. It pours hazy orange / copper with a small, bubbly white head. The nose is earthy, toasted grain, cereal, honey, apricot and rustic farmhouse bread. The taste is bitter, toasted grain, cereal, straw, light spice and earth with lingering dry, grainy finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. A bit, toasty and grainy. Not horrific, just pretty so-so.
