Beige head on a dark brown body, malty but watery and weak flavoured. Slight chocolate and earthy notes but all a little bland and end of the barrel like.

NERAX cask, 4/20/23. Clear, very pale brass. Big, off-white head, well-retained. Nose is super, super estery, like big Belgian. Graham cracker, white bread and various spicy phenols behind it. Light maple, butter, honey, vague bitterness. No Belgian esters at least but other than a solid honey-biscuit like maltiness and balancing bitterness, there's not much remarkable here. Probably would help if this wasn't still refermenting....
