Poured up on tap at Liberty Station where it exhibits a clear copper body that supports a near white head. The aroma offers up candied pine hoppiness and candied oranges with a faint smoke note in the background. The taste is fully pine hop bitterness that slides quickly into firm smooth supple smokiness. It seems to have too much age since the pine has that blunted candied edge to it but it goes nicely with the smokiness. Cool.

Poured up on tap at Liberty Station where it exhibits a murky dark brown body that supports a tan head and leaves behind some spotty lacing. The aroma offers up banana esters as well as a light Porter like bunt maltiness with some coriander spice and a faint plum candy note. The taste is soft and supple and quickly gets into light banana sweet esters, bigger spicy coriander and yeasty sort of spice notes. To midway it picks up a bit of burnt malts that take it into the finish. Nice light finish that has a touch of fruitiness to go along with the lingering burnt malts.

Dark brown color. Soapy nose with coriander, orange peel and roasted Malts. Light body. Really nice balance of the styles and highly unique. Lovely.

Keg at Liberty Station, 13/11/14. Rich amber with a decent beige covering. Nose is rye, spice, biscuit, dark fruit rinds, caramel, light aniseed. Taste comprises bitter hop nores, candied fruit peel, yeast esters, spice, rye bread. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with an earthy bitter scrub. Ok but lacks a bit of class and depth ABV considered.
