Taster at brewery. Murky amber pour, small silky head. Mellow malty aroma, molasses, sweet. Taste is also kind of subdued, I gues the stone really affects the end product. Malty and sweet, silky texture, latent heat with a small bitter bite come up at the back.

Malty, Carmel, to the hilt. Smells like an aged old British ale.
Tastes big of caramel and malt, toffee and fresh dirt, mossy stone.
Thick syrupy body with little carbonation.
Having this at the Hair of the Dog tasting room in Portland, August 25th, 2019.

I taste and smell licorice and raisins. It was not the typical strong pale I was expecting. It was darker in color, a dark copper.

Clear amber with a creamy off-white blanket and an impressive wall lace all around the glass.
Smell is banana, licorice, verdant hops and sticky bread dough.
Sharp with some heat, I get flavors of caramel, phenolic spice, toffee, estery pear with a slick round body and tingly carbonation, finishing mostly dry.
We did a side-by-side with Fred From the Wood at the brewery and the differences were stark.

On tap at the brewery.
A mildly hazy orange with a thin, off white head with decent retention and lacing, this looks decent. The nose is a mellower, mildly more mineraly version of Fred. Hops are softer, malt is more rounded with the honey notes, caramel, toffee, a little butterscotch. Yummy. The palate opens full with a blend of hop bitterness, orange blossom honey, candi sugar, and a little rye. To my palate, this is closer to an aged Fred than a very different version of the beer; the concrete egg adds a little bit of mineral character. Sweet on the finish with a blend of caramel and candied orange peel, this beer is softly carbonated and pretty solid. Recommended
