Really beautiful ruby red body with suprisingly little head. Lots of floral hops on the nose. Very grainy character with a big, sweet semi-burnt caramel backbone. Lots of Earthy hop notes with moderate citrus. Some toffee notes as well. Really great drink.

Dark sugary caramel aroma and color. Great weighted raw grain character, earthy dense hops, yet a thin body for all of those qualities.
