Sample in a flight at the Craft Growler Shop. Black, with a small, tan head. The aroma is immediately bittersweet chocolate and coffee, with notes of molasses, and cinnamon. Medium body, sticky, and clingy. Overall, this is a pretty nice Irish stout, with minimal toasty bitterness.

Bomber shared at a tasting. Pours a clear dark copper with a thin fizzy tan head. Good head retention. Aroma of spice, bread. nuts, caramel, dark fruits, hints of bubblegum. The taste is toffee, dark fruits, spice, nuts, caramel, yeast. Medium bodied, lingering spice.

Bottle during RBWG Lobby Share. Pours a cloudy orange with medium white head. The aroma is funk and brett. Medium mouth with tart citrus, oak, brett, good.

First off, this is categorised wrong - this is a sour/wild ale, not a brown ale. Rich lightish brown coloured body with a nice copper and amber glow and a thinnish off-white head.Aroma of sour grapes, alcohol, funk, brett, yeast and bits of cherries - very nice and fruity. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong brett and yeast flavours up front with a lot of sour grape and cherry flavours noticeable. Some subdued alcohol and sugar flavours with a hint of fruits as well, very nice and complex for the style. Aftertaste shows the sour flavours along with some light malt notes, but the sweetness and alcohol persists - a very complex and mouthwatering beer from the brett and sour notes. Overall, a very nice and complex that you typically wouldn’t get from such a small producer; This one doesn’t hit hard from the malt and sweet elements, but a bit of flavours from all around make this interesting and complex - definitely nice to sample if you can get your hands on it! I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Total Wine in Cary, North Carolina on 02-August-2014 for US$13,99 sampled at home in Washington on Christmas Eve, 24-December-2014.
