Jason Bryant	2.5	2	6.5	2	13	Looks dark and clear Not much aroma Malty Bandaidy phenols a little low on carb, medium body Wish this was a little warmer to taste it better.  I get a little bandaid phenols, but dark fruits and malt is nice.  would like a litttle more carb for the style.  Overall a good beer. Get some lingering bitterness, almost astringent
