Draught at the brewery, 4/1/16.
Deep amber body is clear, with a beige head atop showing moderate retention.
Caramel, toffee, sourdough and moderate fruitiness in the nose (apples, cherries, strawberries) signify a good estery fermentation (and more importantly signify a fermentation, which is more than you can say for their other beers). Light nuttiness, vanilla-cream and a pinch of alcohol.
Caramel and light toasted character with a touch of stickiness from the residual molasses. Fruity esters and a fair amount of dryness, though anything would taste dry after drinking their other beers. Spicy rye like character, or maybe that’s just the notes from the molasses fermentation. Not too much alcohol for 7.8 abv. The most dry of their beers but still a bit too much to drink a lot of given its abv.
The whole feel of this place seems rushed. They don’t even have deScriptions of their beer online, and at the place, the draft list has two word deScriptions. I know it’s easy for me to say since I don’t have a whole slew of money tied up in the place, but take an extra week or two and do things right. The beers are pretty near undrinkably underfermented.
