Tried this at the Elysian bar in Seattle. Orange amber color with very nice lacing. Aroma is mild but sweet. Full bodied and easy drinking. Very well made. Flavor is sweet with that nice boch character in the finish.

Oak aged version, GABF 2004. Strange light peppermint aroma. Orange, no head. Taste is dry, very earthy. Some esters. Alcohol notes come through strong but good.

(Bottle) Lightly hazed amber color with a Moderate diminishing light beige head. Smells like an amber with a touch of licorice and bacon. Not very lager like. Sweet malty sweet and light earthy smoke and spicy hops. Quite a bit of warming alcohol for a moderate strength brew. More like a strong amber ale. I agree with joet 2 years after the fact.

Tap@Elysian. Quite sticky and malty, bready malts, a little grainy. Also got a hint of beery fruit, i think its rasberry, but definitely got a hint of berries. Besides this, theres not much length, and it was a little bit too sticky, some alcohol noticed in the finish.

Cloudy amber,lasting off white head.Light fruity malt nose. Sour and puckery with slight bitterness. Did I get a bad one?Or is this just a terrible beer? Everyone certainly seems to have had something different
