That bittersweet orange peel note really comes through on the finish, and the brown sugar sweetness keeps it from feeling too heavy. I bought a few bottles for a quiet evening and ended up savoring each one slowly.
For a dark ale, this one is surprisingly light on the palate—the citrus comes through clean while the brown sugar keeps things interesting without being sweet. I grabbed a bottle just to try something new and ended up finishing it faster than I expected.
That bittersweet orange note really comes through on the finish, and for a dark ale it's surprisingly light on the stomach. The brown sugar hint balances the dryness perfectly, making it dangerously easy to reach for another bottle.
