Pint can pours with a clear mahogany colored body that supports a nice near white head of foam. The aroma offers up nice spicy hops rolling into mild caramel like malts and a dash crystal malts. The taste delivers spicy hops up front ramming into a blend of caramel malts, crystal malts and a thin hit of slightly roasted malts. Another sip pulls up a sense of leather and wet tobacco that's working nicely. This is nice but seems too hop forward and a little too bright in its array of maltiness to be an Alt. Tastes good nonetheless.

16oz can from Tavour. Clear, dark amber pour, thin silky off-white head. Woody, nutty aroma, toasty malts. Taste is dark toast, chestnuts, dry, wooden, tobacco, light sweetness. Very dry finish.

16 oz can poured at Special Brews. Quite a dark copper appearance, plenty of loose foam head. Love the spicy malt notes here. Flavorful brew with caramel and spicy malts, with a grassy character underneath. Sharp taste up front with a smooth, clean finish. Bready tones on the back palate. Solid brew

Can from Tavour. Pours dark ruddy copper/amber with a large finely foaming beige head. Aroma is lightly roasty with some floral notes. Lightly roasty malt with some light floral and Noble hop grass/spice. Towards dry and decently bitter. Excellent.
