On tap at the Growler Guys PDX, pours a clear dark copper amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out toasted bready malt, a little caramel and a touch of unsweetened dark fruits. Flavour is strange, with some odd spiciness upfront, followed by herbal notes and sweet caramel bready malt. There is a vegetal quality that is rather detracting, making this rather lame, but it's not disastrous. Meh.

On tap at the brewpub. Hazy redish mahogany, with a thick dense creamy light tan head . Light toastedmalts with some citrusy hops on the nose. Big hoppy bite with some spicy cinnoman also. Quite bitter and sharp bu lost of residual sweetness as well. Expected it to be a bit dryer. Quit malty, full bodied. The lingering bitter bite is strong but nice. Strong, but not boost, and would not have guessed as high as 9%. Big brash but good.
