12 ounce bottle. Orange amber color with lots of bubbles topped by a huge rocky white head. Complex toasted malt nose with tropical fruit undertones. Bittersweet toasted malt flavor has lots of spicy, peppery hops to boot. Finish is dry, bitter and long.

Growler shared by jcwattrugger at the 9th Richmond Gathering. Thanks! Pours a hazy amber color with a medium head. Decent head retention and lacing. Resiny hop aroma balanced fairly well with toffee notes. Taste is toffee, bready and toasted malts, leafy and resiny citrus hops and very faint fruity notes. Medium bodied with a lingering bitterness.
