On-tap at HomeBrew Mart. Pours brown, slightly red with a moderate white head, good lace. Smells dark and malty crisp, haven’t smelled a beer quite like it, slightly sour, slightly smokey. Tastes slightly metallic, slightly like black licorice, and malty as well. Medium body with good carbonation.

On tap at BP. A deep deep amber pour with a cream lite tan head. Nose is caramelly sweet and solid. Very sweet front that rides the malt forevery and fades to a decent bitter. A bit thin but good carbonation is a plus. A better than average O/fest.

tap at brewery - Pours amber with a nice lingering head. It smells of sweet malt and has a light roasted, sweet malt flavor. It’s smooth and light to medium bodied with a little hops in the finish. Pretty good.

From a growler. Amber body with an ample foamy white head. Roasted malt, bread dough, toffee, and spice in the aroma and the flavor. Light-Medium body. Nothing special.
