Brewed in collaboration with the Craft Maltster's Guild, featuring specialty grains from 11 different farms. Robust and boozy, but nicely balanced.

2nd Story Brewing Co. "Potluck"
on tap at the brewery on 4/27/16
$6.50 / glass
Notes: No wonder it's called "Potluck", it's got grain from 11 different farms via the Craft Malsters Guild. Dark Mahogany with ruby highlights beneath a creamy off-white head. Good retention but better lacing. Caramelish malt in the nose. Grainy and caramelish in the flavor with a mix of juicy red and dark fruit (berry, apple/pear, raisin), grassy hops, and spice - the alcohol is not hot, but clear, and leads to a dry raspy finish as the malt subsides. Overall it's a touch too bitter with a harsh finish. Medium to medium-full in body and smooth and creamy once warmed.
