On tap at Belmont Station - Bier Cafe, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma is unique and very complex, with lots of amaro, gentle rhubarb, lots of oak, and some spicy rye. Flavour is wonderfully complex—that sure is a unique mixture of elements—with whiskey barrels, amaro, spicy rye, gentle tartness, and some bugginess. Really great spirit-forward character that melds beautifully with the whiskey. Sounded dubious on paper but they’ve nailed this.
