Pint enjoyed at the brewery. Deep brown color with nice looking thick off white head that retained until the end of the glass. Aroma is roasted malts, mild citrus with a light pine hiding in the back ground.

Flavor has a solid roasted grain backbone with light citrus through the center. The finish has a substantial amount of pine that lingers after the sip. Hearty body with a creamy texture that make me crave another sip. A touch of sweetness to balance the bitterness, fine example of the style.
