Copper with a white head. A healthy portion of rye spice draws you through this one. Nice malty caramel and earthy and citrus hops. Lingering rye bite to finish it up. Very well done.

On cask at Washington Brewers Cask Festival, pours a deep dark brown with a small beige head. Nose brings out fresh roasted coffee beans. Flavour follows suit, with fresh coffee and balanced by vanilla. Well-balanced and drinkable. Enjoyable porter.

On tap at Brouwer's Cafe, pours an opaque orange with a small white head. Nose brings out big caramel malts, followed by resinous hops and fruity notes - suggesting at over-malting. Flavour is over-malted, with loads of caramel malts -- too much in fact -- with big resinous hops and orange rinds. Super bitter and quite sweet. Decent, but rather abrasive.

Draft - Lots of fresh pine needles. Clear gold with a rich beige head. Piney, woody and a caramel sweetness. Pretty nice if you like pine.

On tap at Seattle Winter Beer Festival 2014, pours a hazy dark amber orange with a medium beige head. Aroma brings out loads of nice resinous hops - very nice nose. Flavour brings out the spruce tips big time upfront, along with resinous and vegetal hops. Too skunky / vegetal. Something is off here, but it's not a disaster. Meh.

On tap @ Bainbridge Island, shared with jcnielsen. Titled Rating Daze Rye IPA. Pours a golden appearance with a cream colored head. Smarties, tropical fruity, papaya aroma. Creamy mouth feel. Solid brew.
