On tap at the Biltmore production location. Only stout on a 20+ tap list. Greasy, dark brown, lingering lace. Intense bouquet of spices on the nose. Char & botanical sweetness with some mild pumpkin roast. Taste is charry toast, orange, mellow tea astringency, cream, slight whipped creme. Maybe too heavy. Who cares. Good.

Hazy, dull pale yellow, Solo cup pour at Hi-Wire Biltmore. Earthy veg, mildly sulfury, very light floral nose Earthy, clay, light pit, yeasty mass, spent, onion-y void with a very slight back-sweeten. Slight menthol, off-dry, good CO2, lingering acid wash. A little homebrew-y & whatevs.

Surprisingly weak-sauce IPA, with a muddled fruitiness mixed with wet malt and a minor pine bitterness on the back end. Fizzy texture seems kinda cheap. Not their best.
