medium Amber color. Very clean malt profile with mineral character reminiscent of a steam beers. Apricots and apples in te nose. Tricky to figure out. Mouth is very clean, with some buscuit malts but I can’t tell if it is a lager or Ale. Kinda reminds of half steam and half alt. Nice stuff. Low bitterness in finish.

Poured up on tap at Liberty Station where it exhibits dark colored body that supports a light tan head. The aroma offers up all kinds spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and others mixing with chocolate and a bit of a graham cracker like sensation. The taste delivers plenty of the same spicy notes as noted in the nose. It quickly picks up pleasing chocolate with a faint chili pepper sensation off in the background. Another solid offering but the spiciness seems a little too forward.

Poured up on tap at Liberty Station where it exhibits a mahogany colored body that supports a thin tan head. The aroma offers up big prune and sweet raisin mixed with chocolate, some cinnamon and a dash of nutmeg. The taste starts prune and brown sugar sweet and then gets into a pleasing degree of chocolate. Yum. Behind those notes lurks a bit of cinnamon and nutmeg like spiciness. Solid.

Poured up on tap at Liberty Station where it exhibits a dark brown body that supports a tan head of foam. The aroma offers up sweet nectar like sweet smelling malts, subtle sweetened pine hops, prunes and very ripe cherry meat. The taste is similar where a pleasing marriage of pine resiny hoppiness is hitched to smooth and nectar sweet malts. Beneath those big notes lurks soft sweet dark fruity esters like prunes and cherries. At times I get a roasty maltiness that creates a slight dryness that helps balance the sweetness a bit. Yummy barelywine.

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.
