Half Tulip glass draft at Nine Giant Brewing in Cincinnati, Ohio. The pour is a hazed brown with a smallish off white head. The aroma is strong roast, smoky tobacco and grass. As the beer warms, roast trends towards char. The taste has the grass, fast followed by the roast char malt, with tobacco in the finish. The palate is medium bodied with soft carbonation and a mineral roast char bone dry finish. Lots of flavor for the 3.8% abv this was listed at. Well executed.
