Poured up on tap at GABF 2012 with a clear amber body supporting a tan head of foam. The aroma is sort of a earthy and malty and nutty and roasty and interesting actually. It seems to pick up a bit of a smoky note with a bigger draw. The taste is a little roasty and estery and then it picks up a bit of spicy hops to earthy hops to an almost wet cigar leaf note. This is an interesting brown ale for sure.

Poured up on tap at GABF 2012 with a clear pure gold body that supports an off white head. The aroma is pretty nice with earthy hops, hop spiciness and some grapefruit off in the background. The taste seems to be hop flavor forward with mango like tropical fruit and grapefruit and then it gets just a little more bitter to midway with growing citrus bitterness to tartness. But the hop flavor persists with a little bit of malt sweetness into the finish. Pretty solid IPA.

Sample at GABF 10/11/2012, thanks to Bluemeow76 for assistance with note-taking. Dark brownish-amber color with a medium beige head and a top ring of lacing. Aroma of vanilla and roasted malt. Medium-bodied with flavors of cocoa, slightly stale malt and a bit of coffee. The finish is short and chocolatey. Slightly above overall.

On tap at GABF 2012. Pours a deep brown color with a medium white head. A smooth roasted nose with light fruit. Not a ton of barrel in the flavor, maybe some wood, roast, coffee, slight sour fruit. Good overall.
