I wasn't planning to do drink this tonight but I enjoyed the filtered version so much I cracked open the unfiltered version.
It’s a similar looking dark reddish brown with thick fluffy dense tan foam but I think the unfiltered is longer lasting and leaves better lacing behind. The aroma is more subtle than the filtered while the mouthfeel is much smoother. The taste is similar but I’d say the unfiltered feels more put together. Both are good, the filtered comes off bolder while the unfiltered comes off subtle and even more crushable.
Both were great.

Bottle from the brewery. Hazy orange-brown with a tall, fine head. Nose is caramel, cocoa, dark bread and some orange and grass notes. Flavor is bready, rich and slightly sweet, light roast, toast, caramel and chocolate. Creamy and full, rather silky body is nicer than the filtered. Nice enough but not super exciting.
