Cask pour at Shelter DC pours a murky, burnt orange with a cap of just off white head. Fizzy carb. Nose has orange peel and noble hop, malt and a little cracker. A touch of potpourri. Flavor took a minute to grow on me. Felt a little stale but as it warmed, some of the sweetness of the malt came out. Malt is there with some treacle, soap and orange rind. Finishes off dry. Bitter.

500 mL bottle picked up as a Cost Plus find. Figure this one is unique enough to give it a try at the low price point. I'd say it was worth it. Nice winter brew with a alarming feel without an excess booze level. Toasty malt character, bitter up front and throughout. A touch metallic on the late linger. Dark chocolate reminders on the palate. Pretty good brew.

Aromas are dark malt, toast and a hint of skunk. Flavors are similar to nose, more bitter than a typical brown with some traditional bitter and skunk in the finish. Drinkable but that's it.

Aromas are dark malt, roast, cocoa and a bit of molasses. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose, add in a little fruit and body is a little thin. A bit toasty in the finish and it's really pretty good. If the body was fuller it would be so much better.

Bottle at home. Has a dark reddish brown colour with a creamy beige head. Aroma of artichokes, nuts, rye bread, raisins and pomegranate. Flavour of licorice, raisins, rye bread and roasted malt and African coffee in the end. Has slick and silky mouth feel, medium body and a light bitterness. Dark fruit dominated with roasted undertones.

500ml bottle from Cost Plus. This has gotten pricey. Bottle stamp: 025 167 ...whatever that means. Rare Vos glass @home. Red Santa bottle cap. Pretty cookie cascade over a clear, dark copper brew. Mild roast, slight coffee, very slight richness & slighter dank nose. Light roast, thin, cola, mild acid(maybe too acidic), toasted bark, marzipan & clay. Thin, okay. Oddly extra acidic.
