Growler. A brown beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of alcohol, bourbon, and over ripe fruits. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, alcohol, bourbon, caramel, wood, and over ripe fruits. The body is sticky.

Tap at the California State Fair. Pours really dark amber. A slight off-white head. Dark caramel aroma. Full bodied with mild carbonation. Flavor is really caramel. Sturdy flavor. Woody. Finishes with diminishing sweet and advancing bitter. Damn good stuff. Tap at the Bistro BA fest. Aroma rose to 8. Otherwise similar.

Growler. Hazy dark brown with a tiny off-white head. Aroma of overripe fruit, dried fruit, licorice allsorts and an extreme alcohol. Very, very full-bodied, a little low in carbonation with notes of overripe fruit, wood and sweet licorice. Distinct alcohol burn in the finish. 110709
