22 ounce bottle into tulip. Pours crystal clear reddish brown color with a dense 1 finger khaki head with very nice retention that reduces to a ring of lacing. Small amount of lacing sticks to the glass as well. Aromas of huge caramel, toffee, molasses, cherry, and some breadiness. Very surprisingly nice aromas with good strength. Taste of big caramel, toffee, spices, cherry, and breadiness. A very small bit of tartness and funkiness was noticed as well. Lingering sweet notes of caramel, fruitiness, and light spices that last for a bit after the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-full bodied, with a fairly creamy mouthfeel. Excellently masked alcohol for 8%, with only a very slight warming after the finish noticed. I am not sure if they put Brett in this or not; but this is definitely excellent with highly complex flavors, and great drinkability for the level of alcohol.
Impressive stuff from Rust Belt, which is a fairly new brewery out of Youngstown, OH. This is a new one they made in the spring of this year. Hardly anyone has actually reviewed this one, but I found it at a local supermarket. I will definitely have to try out some of their other offerings. I think this one was either brewed or bottled with wild yeast because of the slight tartness that was present in this(it was about 4 months old at the time of consumption).
