On tap at HopCat, Grand Rapids. Deep red-brown body, medium tight cream head. Leafy aroma with bitter chocolate notes. Roasty body with burnt fall leaves, dark fruits (red grapeskins, cherry), burnt brown sugar, and toasty malt, quite vinous and tannic, with modest alcohol notes. Herbal, tannic finish. Crisp with perfect heft. An excellent Alt.
