Pours dark brown into a stein. Mocha head with good retention recedes to pancake surface. Sweet with dark raisin bread, date and fig front to back. Lasting dry toasted pumpernickel finish.

Draft at HF. Pours rich brown with a lasting, creamy khaki topping. Nicely toasted malt aroma. Delicious beer, gorgeous roasted malts, cocoa, mild earth, toasted biscuits. Light bodied with massaging carbonation and creamy texture. Great balance to finish, fresh brown bread, cocoa. Superb.

750mL growler filled 2/7/23 drunk 2/24/23. Clear, dark. Large, beige head, moderate-to-strong retention. Sweet raisins, cinnamon, oak and cookies with dollops of baking chocolate and honey. Plentiful minerality, not excessively specialty-malted, with seemingly good attenuation but also equal malt richness. Soft, delicate, herbal hops. Clean. Wow the hop plus specialty malt and wood really give it a spicy, almost christmasy feel. Cinnamon, moderately-sweet baker's chocolate and soft oak and lightly burnt cookie in the background. Rich base malts with high attenuation and excellent body. A clean, mineralesque, highly drinkable, malty treat.

Draft at Hill Farmstead. Dark, muddy brown pour with a thick, creamy off-white head, rings of lacing. Light roasty aroma, chocolate. Taste is malty, nutty, light chocolate, creamy smooth. Mild bitterness at the finish.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a very dark brown with medium beige head leaving spotty lacing. The aroma is raisin, oats, toasted malt. Medium body, similar flavors to nose, nice lingering dryness, very good.

Looks dark brown to black in the glass. 2 finger very creamy head. Sense cream with a tan hue. Old wet grain, smells like wort sweet corn. Wooody, dense and dry mouthfeel. Chewy malt, rye bread. Sticks around a Bread yeast finish. Very tasty
