Tap at Cap Tap. Looks brown in dim light, but is darkly ruddy against the window. Beige head? Med body or better. Flavor is mysterious. Cooked dark malt, something similar to coffee, something bitter, maybe fig/date. Malty but towards dry. Not very bitter, but bitter. Heat not noticeable ’til I looked for it. Leather coming out? Even tho I don’t know what it is exactly, I like it. BSA. BSA. Reminding me I earned my BSA Life badge. This is something that causes reflections on life. I have decided I like it a lot.

Sampled from the tap at the brewery. Pours a near clear amber brown with a light brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has sweet grains and bread with a bit of Belgian yeast supporting. Flavor is similar with bread throughout with a touch Belgian yeast and a touch of pine.

Draft at the Rare Barrel taproom. Pours clear, deep ruby with a creamy, off-white head. The nose holds brown bread, Belgian yeast, toffee. Medium sweet flavour with more brown bread and toffee, yeast, some dried berries. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Sweet finish, lightly warming, with hints of earthy bitterness, toasty toffee. Tasty beer overall. Nice depth and balance.
