650 ml bottle purchased at Craft Beer Cellar, Portsmouth. Bright gold in color, thick bubbly head. Aroma has a deep resin with some traces of floral hops. Aroma is pleasing.
Taste is pretty nice, grain base with some juicy fruits thought the center. The hop bitterness is slightly lasting after the sip and in the form of pine. Nice amount of flavor for 5.5% ale. Borderline an IPA, pretty well made.

Bottle from Bert’s Slightly hazy deep golden color with a huge off white head that persists forever leaving lots of lace on the way down. Light doughy malt is a faint backdrop to the all out citrus and pine assault. Juicy tropical apricot grapefruit zest and bits of pine and resin explode upon my palette. Lingering sweet fruity bitterness. Medium body, moderate level of carbonation with a silky creamy resinous mouthfeel. Oh hell yeah thats a damn fine beer right there!

Bottle from Bert’s Slightly hazy light golden color with a huge frothy bone white head that shows great retention and leaves lots of stickies on the sides of the glass. the nose was initially lemon and grapefruit but more of the resinous pine moved in as my glass sat. Light faint bready crackery maltiness. The flavor has a hint of sweet bread maltiness with a crap load of tangerine, grapefruit and lemon grass. Medium body with a light to moderate level of carbonation. Nice double IPA, I quite enjoyed this.

Bottle from Bert’s Hazy murky golden orange color with a huge frothy bubbly off white head with superb retention. Tangerine, tropical and citrus hop notes dominate the nose with a faint bready maltiness deep underneath. Flavor follows the aroma, but adds a bit of pine and a slight garlic bite to it. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a resinous but sweet almost sticky mouthfeel. I damn near inhaled this bottle, its good!

Bottle from Bert’s Pours a solid dark brown color with a smallish but long lasting tan head. Huge caramel and milk chocolate aromas with some faint roast, earth, and dark dried fruits. There’s more earth and roast in the flavor than the aroma suggested as well as a bit of tobacco with hints of smoke. Chocolate and caramel are in there as well but not as prominent as in the aroma. Medium to thick body with a light level of carbonation and a silky creamy mouthfeel. Very tasty, but does have a lingering roasted grain bitterness that can get intense at times. I’d love to lay on of these down to see how it develops.

On tap at Cask and Vine Nearly opaque black color with a decent tan head. Big roasted grain and coffee notes with a solid smattering of bourbon and wood. Light vanilla and fruit round us out nicely. silky turning to ashy in the mouthfeel Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation. Seems like a stout at times due to the heavy roast and only faint chocolate. That lines so blurry who the hell cares anymore. The bourbon and wood meld nicely and add some great complexity without overpowering this great brew.

On tap at Cask and Vine Slightly hazy deep straw color with a decent sized head and plenty of stickies. Huge resinous pine and onion hops on the nose with a faint bready crackery malt to almost back it up. Bitter earthy resinous pine dankness in the flavor with barely enough malt to stand up to it. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation. Huge explosion of hoppiness that is a little harsh at times, but damn tasty too!
