12 ounce bottle from Wine Warehouse. Why did I pay almost 4 bucks for this? Oh well. Muddy dark brown medium fizzy white head fair retention. Aroma of toffee caramel cherry chocolate. Taste is cherry, toffee, earth, herbal notes. Medium bodied. Decent.

12oz bottle. Bottled on 02/01/18. Pours headless and looks undercarbonated. Dirty brown drain water appearance. It kind of smells old already. Aroma is earthy autumn leaves maltiness. Flavor has a bit more sweetness and light cocoa. Overly baked cookie aftertaste. Nice beer but needs to e a bit more refined. Make it pretty and a little cleaner.

Bottle at GBBF 2018. Thanks to Ken. Hazy dark ruby colour. No head. Bit fizzy. Big heavy malt. Bitter finish. Rich strawberry jam. Just a bit too fizzy. Good rich jammy malty beer though.

Draft at Port City Brewing. Poured a dark amber-brown with an off-white head. Aroma was toasted malts. Caramel malts, dark dried fruit. Malt, caramel, dark fruit finish. Not my favorite style, but it grew on me.
