Retired? OK. Very recent purchase from Grassroots, Jacksonville, FL, USA. 12 oz can.
Pour is a somewhat drab drown with lots of chill haze. head is quite dense and rich and leaves a lot of sticky lace. the aroma is pretty neutral even after warming, but there are a few malt whiffs from the glass.
Caramel and light toffee notes make up the majority of the flavor profile and the beer is rather sweet. A little damp cardboard too.
Not very impressive beer and the retired factor in the BA db has me wondering how old this is. The beer seems a bit musty which is a sign of older product, but with no freshness date on the can that I can see, the review stands.
