tap at Indiana winterfest - Pours amber and has a nice, earthy, hopped aroma. The flavor is of caramel malt with big, citrus accented hops and a bitter finish. It’s medium bodied and very enjoyable.

tap at Indiana winterfest - The aroma is full of citrus hops and earthy accents. The flavor is well hopped too, but also seems almost sugary. It’s sweet for a DIPA. That works alright though and the complex hop characteristics come through well.

Draft. Opaque, deep brown body with a short, tan head. The aroma is roasty with hints of milk chocolate, mild coffee, vanilla, grass and earthiness. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderatey sweet and moderately bitter. Tastes of chocolate and light smoke. Medium body, watery texture and lively carbonation. Enjoyed the sweet vanilla behind the burnt, roast malt taste.

On draught at Brugge Brasserie. This brew is a clear dark amber color with a thin and rocky off-white head that diminishes steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of floral hops and citrus along with a touch of honey. Rich body with a strong hops character that has floral and citrus notes. Balancing sweet malt and honey in the background. The finish is moderately bitter hops with an herbal and malt finish. Solid all around.
