On tap at Brew Festival. A black one, topped by a dense, finger-thick dark beige head. The aroma is burnt and roasted, with bonfire notes, dark dried fruit and some oats. It’s medium to full-bodied and very soft on the palate, with a burnt malts kind of bitterness. Roasted and burnt malts, some bonfire and oats, as well as prune and raisin. Lasting finish. Perhaps a bit gentle this one, but at least it downs easily. 220430

On tap at Brew Festival. An unclear orange colored beer topped by a creamy finger-thick off-white head. Super-fruity, tropical aroma with grapefruit, orange and pine cones. Pale malts too. It’s full to medium bodied, smooth and nicely carbonated, with a light sweetness. Fruity, tropical flavor too, less intense than the aroma, and giving room for the pale malts. Lasting fruity finish with a light bitterness. The aroma is really wonderful in this one, and the rest of the beer is nice too. 220430
