Keg at the brewpub, 01/02/16. Chestnut brown topped with a moderate light tan swirl. Nose is herbal, sprucey wood, sharp citrics, dried berries. Taste comprises wooded tone, lemon drizzle, hints of sauna, oak, spice, spruce, herbs. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close. Ok for the style.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a clear copper with small off white head that diminishes to nothing. The aroma is strong earthy malt and roast. Thin mouth, cloraseptic and nasty burn why

Draft at the brewery taproom. Pours clear red with a slight filmy head. The nose has some wintery spices, lightly toasted bread. Light sweet flavor with outrageous bitterness, lots of astringency, earth. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Harsh tea leaves and grass in the finish. Super astringent and bitter. Undrinkable.

Draught at Sonoma Springs. Almost clear deep copper liquid with small to medium off-white head. Aroma of herbs, spices, caramel, bread and toffee. Taste is light sweet and medium bitter with notes of toast, herbs and super metallic herbs. Medium bodied with medium carbonation. Ugh, extremely metallic. Yuck. Undrinkable.

Sample at GABF 10/13/2012, thanks to Bluemeow76 for assistance with note-taking. This Scottish Gruit style beer is a dark amber-brown color with a medium beige head and strings of lacing. Aroma of herbs and sweet malt. Medium body with flavors of smoky malt, herbal hops and dark fruit. The finish is toasty with a sweet malt aftertaste. Above average overall.

Hazy dark amber with a thick beige head. Nice aromas of malt and herbs. Medium body and average carbonation. It’s malty, but there is a lot of unusual flavor, and that tends to knock down the sweetness. Decently bitter. Slightly medicinal in the finish. Doesn’t finish sweet. A complex flavor set like no other. Pretty tasty.
