Draft from CC brewery. Pretty strong hops bite, some malts.....decent but seemed more of an IPA.

Sampled on draft the brewpub this beer poured an orange-caramel color with a medium sized foamy off-white head that left exceptional lacing. The aroma was sweetish, malty and a bit toasty. The flavor was sweetish with toasty malts, a hint of wood smoke, dark fruit and tobacco. Long wood and tobacco finish. Medium bodied and smooth. Pleasant.
