Sampled from the tap at Lama Dog. Pours black with a brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has lots of rye whiskey and sweet dark grains with a string dark roast backbone. Flavor combines sweet dark grains and rye whiskey with a bit of toffee supporting.

Tap at Cap Hop. Pours translucent brown with a beige head. Aroma is tart/woody. No oak astringency discernible. Med plus body. Tastes like a brown ale from Italy - one of those chestnut beers. Pretty dry. Bitter enough. Woody, but not musty or oaky. There is a light tartness. Rather different, but really nice. Interesting accomplishment. Sadly I must predict it will be under appreciated and correspondingly unfairly rated. :(

Tap at Cap Hop. Pours hazy orangey gold with a white head. Hoppy/woody aroma. Med body at least. Flavor is woody, hoppy, somewhat malty. Dry tho. Impressive BA lager. Wood renders it very tasty indeed.

Tap at Cap Hop. Pours hazy gold with a creamy/bubbly white head. Aroma of yeast, white berry and pale stone fruits. Making me think of Fruits des Bois ales. Med body or so. Flavor is white berry, wood, light spice, maybe a slight touch of citrus. Very Belgian (or NE France?). Crisp. Clean. Light. Refreshing. Tasty.

Tap at Cap Hop. Pours dark brown (orange glints) with a tan head. Aroma is rye/coffee. Very different. Med+ body. Flavor is dark treacle, chocolate, rye spice, hint of coffee, and I’m thinking oak/wood notes. Not very dry; not very bitter; very pleasing tho.
