Growler share at my parents house.
Poured into a nonic pint glass, the appearance was a ruddy burnt dark orange almost amber color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that hung for a little bit and died off at a moderate pace. Light stringy lace.
The aroma had a nice blend of floral hops, herbal qualities, some toast, dark bread, nuts - somewhat roasty with a touch of leather and earthiness at the end.
The flavor was malty dryness, some sweetness in there, but not too much. Some cereal/grain roastiness came out and the herbal qualities seemed a bit stronger here. Aftertaste had the cereal, dark bread, and nuts. Finish was the same.
The palate was just a touch under medium bodied with a pretty good sessionability about it. Carbonation felt light. ABV felt good and appropriate.
Overall, pretty nice enough beer to have again, and mostly on par for the style.

On tap at the bocktown. Nice place fer sure. Looks like darker iced tea. Slight off putrid aroma but in a good way. It smells like oriental food with tamarind in there, you know? Leathery dark tasting beer off from a stout nor a porter. Decent co2. Some background roastiness in the leather of this taste. Did I say leather? Yes it is. Peat unique and somewhat odd in its uniqueness but I’m sure I had a beer that had this flavor in it in the past. Some mild medicinal flavors in this. Can’t really appreciate this somewhat irish (hehehheh) ale.

Draft at the source. Clear amber brown color, bright tan head. Aroma of cocoa, subtle port wine. Taste is smooth and light cocoa, caramel and a bit of coffee. Not bad.
