Tap @ Kansas City location: Clear reddish brown with a small off-white head. Weak aroma with a hint of brown sugar. Cardboard, papery flavor with a sweet aftertaste and thin body. No thanks.

deep brown, little tan bubbles around rim, minimal lacing. airy maly aroma, too ephemeral. flavor is roasty malt, chocolate, coffee. a bit too frizzy in the mouth feel, with a mildly bitter finish. the frizziness is its biggest shortcoming. the flavor is actually quite engaging.

Pours a clear reddish brown colour with no head. Zero lacing, But a prevalent nutty, caramel malt aroma and flavor throughout. Hint of chocolate and soft cinnamon notes on the palate. One of the more tolerable brews from this place.

Growler from KC Speedway location. Clear brown color with a nice head that fades into a halo lacing. Aroma is lightly sweet, lightly bark/earthy, and clean maltiness. Taste is easy with clean faint dark bread maltiness and a lightly sweetened aftertaste and a short light bitterness. Easy drinking nice, but not really special or distinct.
