Fraught at the brewpub. Hazy yellow with small white head. Great citrus and avoids the funk I often get from 100% citra. Really tasty.

Tap at the brewpub. Pours a beautiful chestnut and clear with minimal off white head. Boozy with dark fruit and dates. Mouthfeel is a bit thin which prevents complexities from coming through the beer.

Bottle at share. Inky black pour , patchy beige head. Plenty of booziness and roasty malts in the aroma and taste. A bit bigger and bolder than the base version, but also very smooth.

Bottle from 2021 release set. Black pour, thin ring of beige head. Aroma is a big hit of boozy roasty malts. Taste brings a touch of sweetness, light chocolate and coffee notes, and an ample supply of alcohol heat. Full and warming.
