On tap at the brewery. Gotta love dinner with the family resulting in 4 new ticks. Well..PDX has advantages. A clear copper color with a large white head. A sweet toasted malt nose, some caramel and dusty leaves. The flavor is more toffee, caramel, sweet dry earthy malts. Very light. OK.

Interesting idea. Cool name. Pours a clear dark copper color with a medium white head. A huge coffee nose. The flavor is milky at times, roast, huge sweet coffee. Vanilla. The coffee isn’t just dominant, it is the beer. Decent enough. Mix that coffee with a bigger beer guys!
