Flashlight shows a faint, dark, ruby colored dot in a sea of darkness with light head retention, smells of chocolate, smoke, and pine. The taste is crisp and smoky, with flavors of charred toast, oak, hickory smoke, and coffee on a full body. The finish is long and moderately high in bitterness, featuring notes of smoke, pine, grapefruit peel, black coffee, dark chocolate, and herbal hops. Overall, it’s a strong, bitter, smoky beer, great for keeping warm on a cold night, and endlessly complex.
