375mL bottle from the brewery, drunk 6/10/25.
Clear, very dark. Large, light tan head, good retention.
Spruce-forward, for sure, though not dominant. Or is it the hemlock? Can't say I can tell the two apart well enough. It certainly creates a very dry, bitter/acidic aspect that is somewhat amplified by the crunchy/crusty dark malts. Though they aren't very roasty, thankfully. Some base malt, not all that sweet, but soft and comforting, does help assuage things.
Hmm, yeah, this is A LOT of adjunct. AT is usually better about not going overboard on the adjuncts. That said, it's not THAT overdone, and in a year or so will be lovely. But right now it's acidic, juicy, rich spruce/hemlock with crunchy chocolate and lingering acid.
