On tap at the brewpub. Poured a deep, dark brown with almost zero head and minimal lacing. Aroma of yeast, clove, cardamom, almonds and light pepper. Flavor was a nice mixture of yeast, caramel malt and spice with a hint of almonds mixed in. A very unique beer from one of the best breweries working in Oregon today.
