12oz bottle (batch 3411 date stamp 12:37) poured into a tulip glass. Slow pour to keep most of yeast behind mostly succeeded, but some sediment came along with the pour.

Appearance: Translucent coppery-orange-brown color. Off white persistent thin head with nice persistent strands of lacing.

Smell: One must really let this one warm up to let the aroma out. Not a lot of anything when first poured cold, but as it warms up I get some yeast, dark fruits, and just the barest hint of something smoky and roasted (borderline burnt). Even when warmed up the aroma is a bit weak.

Taste: A mix of interesting flavors. Caramelized malt, bitter coffee, spicy notes, slight metallic taste, some woody notes. Hard to pull them out and in what order I get them.

Mouthfeel: Smooth, airy carbonation - a little bit of lingering on the teeth though.

Overall / Drinkability: I wonder if this one was past due - I can't tell since the batch and date code are meaningless to me. It's not really wowing me but it's not bad - a bit weak in the aroma dept. and the blend of tastes isn't quite doing it for me, but it's interesting enough I'm glad I tried it.

I poured this yukky beer into my tumbler at 45 degrees. The beer was cloudy, amber in color and poured a nice frothy tan head. The smell was nice whispering notes of creamy caramel and nutty goodness that makes you just want to bite it. Then you drink it and the dream is over. SOUR yuk, SOUR beer. Abbey sourness I can't stand. I will not buy again.
