RATING
92
This brilliantly clear copper brew’s off-white head fades as its aroma lifts up to the nose. Mild caramel scents sweeten delicious nutty notes in the decidedly malt-forward aroma. Soft, caramel sweetened malts fan out on the tongue over a toasted base and greet robust, earthy bitterness in the middle, which draws out nutty undertones from beneath the toast. The flavors ride in unison to the back of the palate before bitterness swells for a surprisingly clean finish.
