Poured up on tap at the brewpub where it exhibits a hop hazed gold body that supports a white head and leaves behind cask poured sheet lacing. The aroma offers up hop bitter smelling grapefruit and tangerine and a bit of lime. Nice. The taste bursts with hoppy goodness that’s tangerine, grapefruit and almost lime like citrus hoppiness. The hops lean strongly toward hop bitterness and some slight resiny notes. Solid.

10.5% AVB version poured up on tap at the brewpub where it exhibits a deep dark body that has dark mahogany edges and supports a thin tan head. The aroma offers up dark roasted malts, chocolate, chocolate malt balls and then a thin layer of yum. The taste starts bold with firm dark roasted malts to burnt and coffee and then it quickly slides into pleasing chocolate goodness and a thin sweet molasses sensation. Yum. To midway in the background lurks faint blueberry like sweet dark fruity esters that harken back to old school Russian Imperial Stouts, nice. Solid beast of a beer that makes for a terrific sipper.

Poured up on tap at the brewpub where it exhibits a slightly hazy copper to brown body that supports a light tan head. The aroma offers up sweet raisin, a bit of cherry and then a thin plum - fig mixture. The taste starts with plenty of sweet dark fruity esters like plums, raisins and cherries and then flowing into a light blend of spicy and earthy fruitiness. Cool.

My first Dunedin rate in god knows how long. Yes!
Poured up on tap at the brewpub where it exhibits a clear deep copper body that supports a thin light tan head. The aroma offers up minerals and juicy smelling berry infused sweet dark fruity esters. The taste starts with earthy minerals, cherry candy and then plum and berry juice. Interesting. The mineral note drops off pretty quick leaving sweet dark fruity esters that have a lingering fruit juice notes and a bit of a dry sensation.
