Guest beer on draught at the 1221 E. Pike Street brewery in Seattle, Washington. Pours a clear copper amber brew with an average off-white head that has some nice retention and spotty lacing. Aroma of roasted caramel malt, a touch of brown sugar and some dry iced tea with fuggle style hops. Taste is medium bodied, some powdered toasted caramel malt flavors with a touch of black pepper. Finish is mildly bitter, slightly dry with a light malt and dry hop aftertaste.

draft @ capital hill location - dark reddish brown with thin, off-white head; bitter aromas of caramel and sweet malts; dry and sweet; flavors not too bitter, but not interesting either

On tap at Capitol Hill Elysian. Dark red with nice head. Bitter hops, yet not overwhelming and very smooth. Nice session beer that is malt forward, but doesn’t forget about the hops.

Deep amber with solid covering of creamed burnt caramel froth. Fruity hop and malt aroma. Again, quite fruity hops with a slight malt backbone in flavor. A good brew that straddles English ESB/American Amber territory. Nice balance. Mild bitterness that rounds out the profile.

Golden-accented dark brown with a thick caramel head. Looks great. Rich earthy-caramel nose with a slight minerally accent. Bitter, with a woody, toasty, minerally character. PNW bitterness + English taste = nice!
