Bottle. Pours clear hazel, small beige head, decent lacing. Aroma is rye, pretzels, grain, sour mash. Flavor is light tart, lots of rye malt, hints of coffee grounds and tobacco, a bit of salt, lemon. Medium body. Interesting.

Poured up on tap at the brewpub where it exhibits a murky mahogany brown colored body that supports a thin light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up vinegar, wood, a bit of gin and a yeastinesd. The taste is predominantly tart with vinegar, gin and wood notes. Into the finish thin murmurs of vague malty notes and toasted rye bread are noticed. It would be nice to try this with less barrel character. Disappointing.
