The beer is a bit warm by the time I get to it, but the first sip is - if anything - helped by it. It is distinctly sweet, with a very nutty center. The touch on the top of the tongue is very carbonated - like it's soda entering the mouth. There is a hint of caramel in there as well; the whole thing is slightly toffee, I think.
A bigger swig is called for. Like the two other Blackstone beers, the beginning is watery. the middle hits with the nutty caramel, and the finish is a bit bitter. It's odd that the end is bitter if the overall feel of the beverage is sweet, but that's my experience. It's not a bad beer, but it lacks the fortitude of a truly good beer. After the other two others, I should have expected a weak beer, but browns normally bring out the worst in me, and adding nuts to the mix should only make matters worse. As it is, this is just a middle of the road beer without enough character to remember much.
2.25/5
