[3/1/15] Draught at Holy Mountain Brewing in Seattle. Nice deep reddish amber. Aroma of malt, caramel, wood, spiciness and whiskey. Sweet flavor with caramel, whiskey and woody spiciness. Medium-bodied.

Oh wow! Draft at Toronado. If this is steam beer than I have been lied to up til now. Cleanish lagery beer with malty cocoa notes, a mild hop bit, effervescent airiness. Have no idea that its BA or particular rye (the 1st use must have stripped all the negative aspects). Body felt on the cheeks but carbonation cuts through it. Super fun experience.

On tap at Holy Mountain, pours a dark amber with a small white head. Aroma brings out rye whiskey barrels, bready malts, and light spices. Flavour is quite complex, with rye whiskey notes, cinnamon-like slices, and bready malt. Wonderful balance and quite elegant really. Really enjoyable. Excellent.

Draft - Light grains and soured dark malts, deep cleanish brown copper with a decent beige head. Toffee, burnt toast and some bitter dark fruit.
