Tip Tap draught, 1/31/25.
Got the bottom of the keg, so there was some haze, though not too bad. Muted amber with some pinkish and bronze hues. Large, off-white head, slowly to cover.
Fruity, lighthearted, phenolic (lots of black pepper, hints of iodine) and not nearly as intense as expected. Not getting the bourbon and the acidity is quite tame. Some fruity brett, fruity sacch and even some fruity malt. Fruity, you might say.
In the mouth it's quite dry with more pepper and red fruits. Mild smokiness and again, don't get much, if any, bourbon. Phenols and hints of toasted bread with a crustiness and some depth, though maybe a shade too dry/sparse.
