[2/23/15] Draught at Bailey’s Taproom in Portland. Black with a light brown head. Nice aroma of chocolate, liqueur, wine, oak and vanilla. Sweetish flavor, a bit acidic, vinous, oaky, with chocolate and dark fruit. Slightly boozy. Medium to full-bodied. A bit too winey and boozy for me.

Keg at the Beavertown facility, 11/11/14. Clear golden with a decent off white covering. Nose is malt forward, light fruit, rather thin and found wanting.
