20oz seasonal pint at the brewpub.
This beer pours a clear, dark reddish cola hue, with one finger of thinly foamy, loosely foamy, and mostly bubbly beige head, which leaves a few instances of attractive bonsai tree lace around the glass as things slowly subside.
It smells of meaty roasted caramel and bready pale grainy malt, a muddled orange citrus and pithy wet pine bitterness, ash, and a slight hard water astringency. The taste is semi-sweet caramel/toffee malt, soaked morning after campfire grill, orange cream, weak pine resin, and a further earthy, leafy hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly unobtrusive, barely a peep after a spell, the body a decent medium weight, and sort of clammy in its otherwise robust smoothness. It finishes off-dry, the malt starting to shed a fair bit of the tacked-on smoky char.
An agreeable enough version of the style, if this is your sort of thing - the blackened side of the equation dominates for the most part, but is hardly over-roasted, which speaks to the underwhelming base IPA here - I get much more of a solid amber ale impression. Anyways, not something I'd go for again, unless, of course, the house is buying!
