Draft pour pint at Henry's Tavern, Portland Airport. Copper and clean appearance, thin fading head. Bold and bitter amber ale, toasty malts with a caramel background. Nice bite. Lighter abv, but an aggressive palate. Hint of berry mixed into the lingering malt bill. Tough to make Amber's unique in my opinion, but easy to make them taste good. Enjoyed this.

Can from Tavour. Pours very dark brn/blk with a large creamy dark tan head. Aroma of chocolate, anise, dark malt and some bourbon notes. Arguably full bodied. Flavor is pretty much the aroma but with some oak astringency. There's very little heat. Not dry, but pretty bitter - likely from burnt malt. Anise seems a little strong with time.
