On-tap at the brewery
L - deep brown body with a huge, creamy tan head that holds incredible retention; thick chunky lacing is left all over the glass
S - molasses, chocolate, fruit, pine
T - more molasses and chocolate, toasted grain, caramel, nut, mild roast, fruit, juicy, pungent pine and grapefruity hoppy bitterness. Excellent complexity here
F - medium body, pleasant carbonation, finishes moderately bitter with a peppery bite
O - really nice IBA. You don't see many of them, but this one is done right. I'd drink this again.

I thought that this beer was going to be pretty tasty. I was pretty disappointed with the results after trying it.

A- Has an inviting color of a nutty brown (almost like a Pepsi brown). Has a nice head to it that clings to the glass and slowly seeps back into the beer.

S- The smell is grainy with boozy notes.

T- I was pretty disappointed, the beer was subpar at best. Tasted like used hops. Had some very ripe fruit notes that saved the beer from total disaster, but still disappointing.

M- This was a stereotypical, dark brown beer feel, hot and heavy on the tongue.

O- I wouldn't recommend this beer to anyone, because I wouldn't want them disappointed.

Cheers!
