Draft at Churchkey for the The Southern Craft Brewer Night: Burial, Fonta Flora, Great Raft, Parish & Wicked Weed. Poured a hazy yellow color, off-white head. Aroma was sweet malts, some funky character from the yeast, with herbal notes that dominate this one. Flavor was lots of spices, primarily black tea.
