750 mL bottle from the brewery, Batch 1, shared at the Baltimore Late Late Summer Gathering, 9/14/13. Pours a dark brown color with a thin creamy tan head. Decent head retention. Aroma of chocolate, whiskey, tart fruits. The taste is tart fruits, toffee, chocolate, raisin. Medium bodied. Seems like it might be a little TOO tart, but still a solid beer.

Tap the Griffon, Charleston. It pours clear mahoganny with a small white head. The nose is smoke, oily, ham, malty backbone and wood. The taste is smoke, earthy, caramel, carrot cake, decent bitterness, light toast, dried fruit and brown sugar. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Interesting flavour profile indeed. Tastes a whole lot like smokey carrot cake!

Draft at the source. Hazy golden color, small white head. Aroma of grass, pine, straw. Taste is similar. I like the idea of a low-ish abv IPA, much easier to drink than the nine percenters.
