Bottle 12 fl oz at Hair of the Dog Brewing, Portland. Year 2012 made. Best after 4/30/13. Colour is cloudy brown with small white head. Aromas and flavours: Fruits, berries, wood, some sweetness, hints of sourness, warm alcohol and malts. Strange mixture of sour brown / American strong ale but overall very enjoyable complex ale.

Bottled@PBF IX. Ambery copper colour with a small white head. Aroma is floral, wooden, a bit lactic along with some zestiness, alcohol and mild berries. Flavour is biscuity, bready, mild toffee along with some berries, alcohol, fruits and mild grassiness. Quite a big bitter kick in the finish, yet balanced out by the sweetness of alcohol. Mellow and pleasant.
