On tap as Frankincense & Myrrh Ale. Pale, opaque, has a nitro head. The aroma is quite spicy, maybe a little more nuance to the palate. Definitely an inchoate yeast bomb sort of thing, though.

On tap as three wise men. Pours a very hazy Amber with unclear head definition Aromas of smoky grain and toasted malts Flavours of smoke and dry spice with a wallop of wet wheat. Dry Christmas spice finish. Odd.

Draft - Nitro - Not much on the nose. Cloudy gold with a rich white head. Spicy, creamy malts with a touch of peel. Very odd, but I like it.

Murky blond color with large head. I almost don’t get any aroma, just some light smoke. Very low carbonation; the three elements (smoke myrrh and frankincense) combine in a delicate manner, don’t expect too much of it, actually the smoke is a bit more prominent, the myrrh is noticeable, the frankincense not; low bitterness, short final.
I feared the worst, but it’s actually drinkable.

On nitro tap at Big Rock Urban, pours a cloudy creamy blonde with a medium white head. Aroma is pretty subtle, with cereal malts and not much else. Flavour is a little more forward, with smoke upfront and cereal notes in back. A little grainy sweet on the finish too. Not a fan of this.
