Draught at the Brouwer’s Cafe, Seattle. Clear nut brown. Viola aroma. Sweetish with near full body and a strange, pungent root beer flavour. Solid body, low bitterness. Quite interesting, but more odd.

Draught at Concordia, Portland. Nut brown, clear. Heavily spicy aroma - cardamom and coriander sticks out. Sweet with clean mouthfeel. The spices dominate completely. So much spices there is no room for anything else, and it gets completely one dimensional.

Draught at Rose and Raindrop, Portland. Clear copper, creamy head. Grapefruity hop aroma. Sweet with medium body and soft mouthfeel. Lightly syrupy with loads of hops - grapefruit and licorice. Extremely bitter finish. Powerful, but doesn’t really do it for me.

First rated at Rose & Raindrop in winter ’06 for a 3.3 overall score. Re-rate at the brewpub in Stevenson summer ’07. Brigth deep amber. Aroma is actually somewhat scant...vague hints of chewy malts and citrusy hops. Not as clearly defined as with some of their other brews. Rich malts on the palate are just the happy side of cloying, and there’s plenty of resiny hop. Compared with other WM brews, this plodsd along, bludgeoning your palate without nuance.

First tasted at the Rose & Raindrop in spring ’05 and I hated it. So I gave it a re-sample at the brewpub in Stevenson. Basically black. Black cherry soda smell. I sure could go for a Montreal smoked meat sandwich right now. Taste....gak...gong show of very bitter patent malt and sugar sweet robitussin cherry. Fucking awful.
