Poured up on tap at 8 Bit where it exhibits a near clear copper body that supports a thin light tan head of foam that leaves behind some spotty lacing. The aroma offers up crystal malts, a wafer thin roasted malt note and then spicy black licorice like hops. The taste delivers smooth yet intense hoppiness that runs deep to the earth's core. I get malt blunted thick wide pine hops all over the place. To midway it picks up a dash of sweet breadiness, a biscuit to crystal malt note and then some grassy to minty hops. There's a lot going on here but it is well integrated but borderline intense with hardly a notice of the huge abv.
