Thanks to whaleman for bringing this growler...
Appears a brownish red color with a small white head.
Smell is of funky malt with molasses as a main ingredient and not just a priming sugar, light vegetable with corn standing out.
Taste is a funked out mix of natural ingredients. Almost oatmeal tasting with some sweet and roasty malts jumping out but aren't exactly defineable.
Mouthfeel is sweet with some of the funkiness standing out.

Man, did I hit it lucky with this one. This was a one-shot brew in commemoration of Ben Franklin's 300th birthday earlier this week. We happened to stop in on the way home from a Heavyweight open house and it was still on.
It was only available on cask, which right away got my attention. It arrived as a really clear, medium-amber colored beer. It actually achieved a decent, off-white colored head that had good retention throughout and created a sticky lace as I drank though it. The nose was somewhat sweet and the mouthfeel was really full, almost creamy, nearly belying the idea that it was cask-conditioned.
It was at this point that I decided to take a cheater's look at the Beer Menu: "... a Strong Ale brewed with corn and molasses ... [r]oasty malt is prominent in the taste; fruity esters and alcohol in the aroma."
Not from where I sat! I would have said just the 180-degree opposite. I definitely got the alcohol burn and a taste of fruit, like cherry, but both on the palate, plus I already mentioned the malty nose. This was a wild beer, but the ABV makes it drinkable, but not long-term, as a session candidate.
