Picked this up on a recent trip to Charlotte, SC at the Home Economist. $4.29 I think. 22 oz bomber.
Good looking pour as expected, with a rich, tea colored body, nice initial head and some good carbonation. Head and lace are minimal.
Obviously a lot of malty richness in line with the style (plenty of buttered bread), but a real alchol twang in there too. Tasty. Finishes with a little sharp alcohol as well. A small amount of grapefruit in the finish. Residual sweetness lingers a little with caramel and brown sugar working against the mild citrus bitterness.
A nice example of the style in my book, well worth a try.
