Splotchy chestnut-browned pale ale/stout mixture needs better definition as Black & Tan styling. Ashen hop-charred walnut and Brazil nut rut as well as distant molasses-smoked chocolate malting fail to register properly above moderate citric splurge. Minor grapefruit peel bittering, wavered tobacoo roast and wispy plum wining lose out to overt carbolic fizz.
