Ruby hues brighten up this dark brown brew while a fleeting white head fizzes away, clinging to the glass’s edges. A heavy load of caramel with faint chocolate accents and roasted, earthy peat fills the nose; swirl the glass to unlock raisin and plum scents. Caramel, with an underlying chocolate layer, flows easily to the back of the throat, followed by a burst of smoky peat, which floats in the mouth after the swallow. Finishing toasty and caramel-sweet, this malt-forward beer’s a balanced treat.
