On tap at Silver Gulch - Anchorage Airport, pours a mostly clear dark copper with a small beige head. Aroma brings out winter spices, bready malt, and a hint of cocoa -- very odd and muffled. Flavour is muddled and just puzzling -- what's this going for? There's muffled winter spices, earthy malt, muddled caramel, and bready notes. Jumbled and confused. This isn't good.

On draft at the brewer it is a clear light Amber color with a slight head. The aroma is slight malty and the taste is bitter and strong with hints of red cherries has a bitter finish
