From can to glass. Pours copper-garnet with a sustained off white head of a fluffy one-finger head and lacing. Malt and hops are balanced, hops more subdued on the aroma. Slight orange comes out late in the flavor. Malty cracker flavor.

Bottle. Color: Clear copper, stable very light brown head. Aroma: Smoked bacon, hints of caramel. Taste: Medium sweet malty, pretty strong smoky, notes of bacon, wood, sugar, hints of caramel. Over medium body, soft carbonation. Long lasting finish. Nice, pretty smooth but firmly smoked beer.

Bottle from Bottleworks, Seattle, 3 years old, ~19 USD
Black color. Strong aroma of cheap chocolate. Medium body strength, sweet; artificial vanilla chocolate flavor, some oak.
Weird, artificial, grossly overpriced.

Draught. Yellow pour with thick white head. Light lemony aroma. Malt comes out in the taste, the hop and the finish dance on your tongue. Drink this if it's there.

Can. It's an unclear dark brown beer with a finger-thick beige head. Roasted malts, coffee, some chocolate and toast in the aroma. It's lightly burnt on the palate, else it's the same toast and chocolate, with roasted malts and coffee dominating. Just as in the aroma. It's dry and lightly bitter, with a bit heavy carbonation. Well... It's a fine beer, but nothing special. 180518
