A nice example of how to combine a decent alcohol content, a popular style and a sound beer in a macro type way.
Pours dark brown with quite a lot of carbonation. A little too much in the bottle that I tried. It’s a good looking beer that appears to have some substantial body.
Very rich aromas and tastes initially hit you. It’s all malt! Really quite sweet, in keeping with the style. A good mouthfeel (not as large as it looks) and a very smooth finish.
Nice example of the style.
