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.

Draft at Olympic, from notes. Interesting brew, good but not great. The basil kinda overpowers everything else.

Aroma of roast malt and dark chocolate. Medium body with flavors of roasted malt, earthy hops and chocolate. The finish is bittersweet chocolate and malt. Pretty good overall.
