On draft at El Bait Shop in Des Moines. Pours black with a tan head. Aroma of licorice and leather. Flavors are tart cherry. Maybe off.

4 oz. draft at El Bait Shop, Des Moines, IA. Appearance is a slightly hazy copper. Aroma of peaches and mangos, malt. Flavor follows with a lightly note of alcohol noticed. Slightly warming after the sip. (I see where the beer gets its name). Very little bitterness and despite the ABV the mouthfeel is good. Enjoyable.

4 oz. sample at El Bait Shop, De Monies, Iowa. Hazy orange appearance. Aroma has pear, honeysuckle, peach, mild sugar. The balance of hops to grain is decent. The one off note I get is a light showing of sugar. Other than that, decent.

16 oz. can at Dad’s house, maybe from Ankeny HyVee. Dark brown pour, with a half finger width tan head. Roasty brown English malt smell with a bit of treacle behind it. But the taste brings a full burst of robust, nut brown malt, Reminiscent of the Goose Island Nut Brown, heartier than a Newcastle, and a bolder mothfeel from standard carbonation. I am guessing some heathery English hops, with a note of Citra on the side. Big taste in a still sessionable dinner beer.
