From Surly's website:
Surly started with some homebrewing in a garage. Doomtree started with some noisemaking in a basement. Careful what you do in your spare time in your spare rooms, man. That stuff just might take over your whole life.
A decade later, Doomtree meets Surly. Instant crush. We’re both indie and strong-willed. We love Minnesota and we’re allergic to focus groups. We don’t have a formal professional outfit between us.
We convene at the brewery to scheme. Working in extreme secrecy, we decided to make a beer team Surly suggests, a "bastardized style" that will build on a classic, but buck convention. Doomtree cannot nod vigorously enough. We know this style. Guided by instinct, we came up with this dark gold, toasty, aromatic, subtly spicy, bitter enough, dry-hopped brew. Best enjoyed cold, in a spare room, with new friends.

Cloudy amber color with two finger off white head, good retention and lace. Aroma is sugary caramel malt and piney/floral hops. Taste follows, very malt forward, baked bread and sugar. Sweetness is offset somewhat by piney resiny hops that carry some bitterness into the end. Lots of flavor, drinks bigger than the relatively low abv. More like a hoppy red ale. Medium slick mouthfeel. Overall good malt-forward resiny brew.
