Black. Brown and red edged. Small thin line head. Smells like vanilla bean, Oreo cookies and whiskey with fire and smoke. Very thin up front. Dense carbonation and oily finish. Had a home brew like quality but a solid flavor. Re-rate a few months later (July last time in October). Not doing well in my opinion. Getting wetter, still oily, carbonation unchanged.

32 ounce growler thanks to Adam and Heather. Aroma shows a mild grass, light pine, pale grains. Flavor follows. I liked the pale ale we had directly before this a bit better.

32 oz. growler thanks to Adam and Heather. The deer shows a nice juicy character. Orange pulp, melon pop, some earth a note in the finish. Absolutely no bitterness, clean. Pretty much a "juice bomb" as all the kids are saying these days
