Tap. Pours pale amber/orange, slightly hazy, with a medium off-white head, decent staying power and good lacing. Aroma is dominated by grapefruit, with some grassiness. Taste is grassy, citrus, with some malt body and a bitter dry finish. Crisp and medium to full bodied. Seemed like a good offering to me.

Bottle via a trade. Pours with a quite large, deep brown to tan head that settles over a menacingly dark, black hued body with reddish highlights. Great retention and lace. Aromas are oddly ester forward, dark fruits, vinous, currants, cherries. Overpowering fruit and other aromas that would point to an infection. Moderate roast aroma, nutty, fudge, low hops, some alcohol. Flavors show that this is a bit infected. Mild acidity. Chocolate, medium roast, black currant, dark fruits. Lasting tobacco and a ton of esters. Big dark fruit character, medium bitter, chocolate, alcohol, iodine. Long duration. Medium carbonation, fuller bodied. Some tartness lingers.

Growler shared with friends, thanks Ken! Pours a clear amber with an off-white head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of of dark grains and rye with a bit of backing floral and grassy hops. Flavor begins with some resinous pine with a rye backbone and has a bit of citrus come out with hints of sweet grains.

Served on draft at Beer Run. Pours a clear dark vibrant red color with a thin creamy white head. Decent head retention. Aroma of stone fruits, toffee, rye, earthy and herbal notes. The taste is bitter rye, herbal hops, toffee and earthy notes. Medium bodied. A little bit bland and definitely off-balance.
