On tap at rbwg. Pours out a copper amber topped with a sand head. Nose is nice hop notes with a sweet caramel malt and some spice. Taste is more of the nice citrus pine hop combo and a sweet malt balance.

Poured up at Ratebeer Best 2017 Beer Fest where it exhibits a kind of opaque mahogany colored body that has copper hues and supports a near white head of foam. The modest aroma offers up spicy oak blended with a touch of molasses and a faint hoppiness that seems a bit pine like. The taste delivers loads of spicy kind of woodsy oaky notes that are integrated well with smooth malts and sort of a quick dash of molasses. It then gets into hoppy notes of pine, tart pineapple and an almost lime like sensation. This is a pretty nice sipper.

Taste comprises caramel, biscuit, brown sugar, hint of tropicana. Medium + bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Ok ... doesn’t deliver a whole lot of depth and a little sweet.
