Shaker pour at Tornado. Color is black as heck. Aroma is very roasted with light hops peaking through out of a very clean profile. Flavor is the same, very easy to drink with lots of character but not sweet. Not much more to say, its just good.

Shaker pour at Tornado. Color is a clear dark golden and has a frothy head. Aroma is very strong dry herbal hops. Same in the flavor with clean white bread malts behind it. As it warms a bit of a metallic lagerness emerges in the nose. Its simple yet well done. I would like a bit more crispiness to the hops and maybe a little less of a malt characteristic.

On Tap at City Beer. Pours with a golden body and a white head that lasted and left great lace. Aroma of hops, fruit and caramel. Taste is similar to my Imperial Red (where I copied the PtE hop bill), fruity, a bit of a thin malt profile, with pine hops. Water like mouthfeel.
