16 oz can poured into a nonic pint glass. I had to salvage this one after it fell and sprung a leak - we'll see how it's held up...

A: Pours a orange copper color with moderate clarity. The head is a one finger heavy cream shade. In true nitro-can fashion, it retains beautifully with a wondrous texture.

S: Not as muted as I come to expect from the serving style. There are lots of dark fruits, some lighter fruits, chocolate, caramel, cream, and even a touch of hops.

T: The flavor profile introduces both a smoky and even a leathery dimension to things. The mustiness works pretty well with its fruity, caramel-laden flavor profile. A hint of leafy, herbal hops really finish things well. Surprisingly, it even has a bit of depth to it.

M: A bit on the watery side, as expected. Despite that, there's a good mixture of creaminess and crisp, palate-clearing dryness. The lack of carbonation fits the mouthfeel qualities well.

O: This would make a good everyday drinker. It's definitely the most interesting nitro-can beer I've ever had before.

Serving type: nitro-can
