Brewery draught, 11/17/23. Clear amber, small, beige head sits at light cover. Big Diacetyl, rich toffee, red fruits, some herbs and spice from hops. OMG so good. I love when Diacetyl is actually a plus. Seems intentional here. It's light but deep and deliciously butter. Floral, herbal hops, and fruity esters balance. Deep but well-attenuated malts provide toffee and honey. Clean with lingering mineral, floral and peppery bitterness to refresh.

Brewery draught (C02), 11/17/23. Clear dark. Small tan head quickly to edges. Chocolate and dainty chili pepper. Light caramel and light vanilla notes. Very clean. Super malty, rich, chocolatey, even a bit a syrup to it, with excellent pepper, vanilla, chocolate, caramel notes pretty well-homogenized. Pepper is strong but not overbearing. Just can't get over how malty this is and yet still well balanced.

Brewery draught, 6/18/23. Medium-light amber, clear. Large, beige head, well-retained. Nose is lightly spicy, lightly herbal hops with rich base malts and clean, snappy yeast. No heavy specialty malts, flaw, alcohol noted. Soft, very malty, with incredible depth and still appropriate attenuation. Honey, white bread, hints of red fruit from specialty malts, snappy yeast and gentle hops for balance and complexity. Wow, shocked at how well-malted these two beers I've had from here are. Definitely going back as soon as I can to try more.

Brewery draught 6/18/23. Light haze, muted brass. Small, white head, moderate-to-low retention. Nose is rich malts, nutty wheat and well-aged lactic acidity. Not punchy/dirty, overly acidic. Clean. Soft, rich, malty, nutty, slick and with excellent lactic acidity. Definitely properly aged and showing plentiful maltiness to take some of the focus off the lactic acidity. Though of course it's still plenty tart.

Sampled from the tap at °8 Plato. Pours black with a light brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has earthy dark grains, light chocolate and growing roasted malts. Flavor has boozy dark grains and some chocolate with growing roast and bread backing.

Draft at 8 Degrees Plato. Pours a clear chestnut brown with a finger of off-white foam that lingers. Toasted malt nose and faint coffee bean aromas as it warms. Smooth, great carbonation. Toasted toffee and grain malt. This is a really nice altbier.
