Bottle at Beau Jo’s, a loooong time ago. Pours a decent amber with nice carbonation. Nutty aroma with some sweetness in the nose. Kinda like sugar smoked candy. Flavor falls a little flat, with weak nut and sweetness. Average mouthfeel. Call it a bad day at the office. Nice ratings find amongst my old notes.

Draught. Body is dark amber. Aroma is lightly malty (cookie), moderately hoppy (grapefruit, resin, flowers), with a note of corn syrup. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation.
