text: 12oz brown glass pry-top bottle. Thanks to forgetfu for this one! Pours a dark brown with very little head at all. Nose is pun-wait for it-gent! Wet, germinating barley, dark caramel, dried figs and dates, and sticky sticky moss. Palate is aggressive and young. Chewy hop resin make it fairly bitter while the malt sweetness struggles to take control. Dark chocolate caramel chews come to mind, dark toffee and stewed plums. Finish is fairly clean for such a thick brew. Hops keep it from being cloying at all despite the huge malt presence. ABV is well hidden in the dense frame. Notes: Needs time, for sure. Damn fine construction of a burly barley.
