Fantastic beer. This is exactly what I expect from a big brewer though: perfect carbonation, great flavor, still fairly light on the palette and a great, no SUPERB aftertaste; very nutty aftertaste. This reminds me a lot of nut ales, like Newcastle, Nut Brown ale, Samuel Smith and then there’s a slight taste of a pumpkin beer almost with the spiciness.
Not quite filling enough for my personal tastes, but I predict this to be the highest ranker on brew52 to date. Boo for twist-off bottles. They can’t be reused for homebrew
