On tap. Pours with a hazy amber hued body with an off-white head that lasts. Aromas are of dark fruits, spicy, rye whiskey, barrel, toffee. Very chewy. Flavors are spicy, rye, nutty, caramel, toasted oak. A decent amount of phenol. Caramelization. Warming, low carbonation.

On tap for Hard Liver '12, pours a mostly clear golden amber with a small tan head. Aroma of port, white wine, and slight rye - quite a vinous and light sourness dominates the nose. Flavour is quite a weird mix of flavours, with sweet liqueur, white wine, rye, and caramel malts. Light-bodied and thin with flavours that don't really mesh well. Decent but weird experiment.
