Way to vary the use of descriptive words ... That being said. Nose has notes of roast, cola, chocolate abd some earth. There is a definite light tartness that I got in all their beers. Pours a nice cola color with a creamy tan head. The flavor is verƯ english. Malt forward - cola, chocolate, caramek, roast. Earthy bitterness in the finish and that soft twang that actually went well with this one imo. My favorite of the bunch. can8ianben (911), Pasadena, California, USA
