Bottle from Brewcraft at home on Election Day. Rich black pour with dense tan head. Aroma is good - light roasted coffee and sharp pine hops. Taste is sharp pine bitterness with burnt acerbity. Some spiciness and booziness. Lasting sharp bitterness. Really good.

On tap at Brother’s Beer. Aroma is big hoppy bubblegum, a little sweaty cheese and lots of biscuit. Flavour is much the same without that sweaty note.

Hazed deep golden color with a fine white head. Good lacing. Ok intensity in the aroma. Decent medium body and an average carbonation level. Tad sweet and an ok bitterness (could have been higher to back it up better). Citric, tropical - some dried fruits, pine and caramel malty flavor.
