Pours a brownish copper color with golden edges and a finger of head. The nose is bready with a touch of alcohol for good measure. The body is hearty. The flavor profile has a solid molasses backbone with a solid hop punch on the finish.

Thanks again to Bryan for the share on this one. Consumed blindly as to not have a biased opinion, it was poured for me into a snifter. It appeared a clear mahogany color with yellowish khaki head. Some spots of lace and overall decent look to it.
Aroma opened up with a fruitiness mixed somewhere inbetween hops and fusel alcohol with a firm backing of dirty pocket change.
This tastes bitter with a strong mineral feel and lots of fusel alcohol. Its herbal, piney and has a pretty terrible aftertaste.
This is medium in body with a light amount of carbonation. Big alcohol as expected for 12% but the bitterness coupled with mineral flavoring made it not enjoyable. I appreciate the chance to try this but im glad I didnt pay for it. Most of the people who sampled this at our tasting opted to drainpour it and we all were surprised to see this as a product from this brewery.
