7/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 7 Overall 7

Can shared by my bro. It pours clear orangey - brown with a small, bubbly off- white head. The aroma is toasty brown bread, woody, earth, dried fruits, raisin, sultana, dried fig, date, fruit loaf, salted caramel is fairly muted and some caramac. The taste is initially smooth, warming booze, woody, leather, light tannin, coffee beans, mellow salted caramel, toasted nut, slightly charred, umami and tannin with a drying, kinda burnt finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Nice aroma. Tastes has a burnt finish which detracts from what is a decent beer overall.
