Sampler, guest tap @ the GI Clyborn location. Color is dark brown. Moldy cobwebby aroma with faint cherry pit and some roast. It is akin to a Flanders but even tamer and the roast is novel (light roast). Flavor has more sour cherry flavor covered in roast. Interesting and very quaffable. Would love to buy this in a 10 dollar sixer. But roast and sour a bit weird.

Tap at brewery. Light fruity tart malt aroma. Dark brown with a small off white head. Light tart cherry flavor, reminds me of a very mild, smooth fruity balsamic vinegar. Medium body. Nice.

Draft at Bavarian Lodge, 9/28. A hazy-brownish amber, a half inch of foamy head. A brown ale malt nose, well balanced by what smells like Northern brewer hops. Taste is big on both malt and hops, and more complex than a broad-appeal flagship beer like Anchor Steam. Just sayin’. The description on the menu claims it should have a mild profile, but everything here is pretty bold and up front. Probably just tapped the keg. More like a Steam-Oktoberfest for all its maltiness. Some spices on the palate, no doubt from the warm ferment. Impossible to drink quickly, and surely best enjoyed on draft. Yet it still has the pretense to try for a "crisp, clean" lager finish.
