Tap. Good sweet fruity notes for aroma with a hint of alcohol. Amber body with dirty white head. Sticky sweet fruity flavor. Chewy texture to body that is smooth and a bit dry on the palate. Alcohol shot on the finish a good brew

Pours amber/copper with a white head. Smells fruity and of sweet malt. Tastes of sweet, tarte, dark fruit, cognac, molasses, some peppery hints on the finish. Alcohol is present. Enjoyable.

Hazed deep amber with a creamy white head and lace. Cherry sweet, light medicine, and abv on the nose. Grainy maltiness, semi-sweet start with a hard hop bitter. Almost fuel oil smooth carbonation but a tad too slick. Very different not your grandfathers bw.

on tap-pours a rich light tan head with some lacing and hazy amber color. Aroma is sweet fruit-(cherry?), medium malt. Taste is sweet medium malt/grainy hops bitter, alcohol. Nice sipping.
