Draught. Poured amber with off white head. .Malty aroma with a coffee note. Much warmth with a malty body, and more black unsweetened coffe notes. Citrusy tones in finish not found in body.

bounteous hop aroma, mix of citrus & floral, light malt backdrop. dark orange with a modest head. almost palpable carbonation giving it a light (on draft) feel. quickly warming the belly. toasted malt flavor under the massive hops, which have harshness on the edges, bordering on metallic & grapefruit.

Tap @ Brewpub: Mahogany, no head or lacing. Nose of sweet light caramel and sugar, lots of melanoidins. The flavor is a bit spicy with hops, earthy, nutty and spruce and tangerine in the finish. Not doing much for me but it’s good. Malty tail.

On tap at Roots Organic Brewing in PDX--Poured a rich mahogany-amber body with a minuscule off-white head. Nose of sweet malts and piquant PNW hops. Nutty, earthy, and piny with a rich bountiful mouth feel. Very enjoyable brew!
