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.

Bready with a little spice and a lot of fruitiness. Rye shows. Lots of orange. Very tasty bitter. Reminds me of a hopped up bitter brewer. Very well done. Easy to drink.

Canned 2/16/15; drank 3/19/15 @ the Yarchives.

See-through orange/red/purple appearance.

Huge eggnog head; a curtain of frothy lace.

Toffee & mild orange citrus notes in the nose.

Medium mouthfeel.

Peanut butter flavor up front; mild orange citrus on the finish. Banana notes emerged as this warmed.

An enjoyable, unique session ale.
