Sailors Grave Into the Pines Forest Ale 5.4% Brewed with pine and foraged Slippery Jack mushrooms. It’s a pretty russet brown with deep beige foam that vanished fairly fast. The aroma was very malty and earthy sweet caramel. The medium to full body is smooth and tastes like the aroma with an earthy nutty mild caramel fudge flavor. Very well balanced.

Can. Brown with an off white head that fades a bit. Aroma of bread crust, earth, spices. Light bodied. Spiced bread but not much sweetness. Much more bitterness than expected and what I guess are the mushrooms (and pine?) show up with it at the end giving it a surprising presence right where you'd expect it to be tailing off. As usual, interesting.
