Whisky, butterscotch, Wet leather, orange, dried apricot, burnt wood. Hazy brownish orange color. Big head that lasted a while reduced to a ring that clung to the sides. Bitter sour flavors, I get whisky, grapefruit, burnt wood, tobacco, hints of metallic. Medium body, Smooth creamy slight oily mouthfeel, Biiter sour finish. Good brew, though I get a little of an Old Ale thing. IMO. Thanks Clark! kook (2034), Perth, Western Australia, Australia
