Taster during MBCC 2023 Friday morning session shared with Ryan, Matt, Phill, Erik, and Brian. Juicy, a bit citrusy and bitter. Watery. Ok.

Tap. Unclear yellow color with white head. Aroma is grassy, fresh green fruits. Taste is the same, some oats, refreshing finish. Mineraly bite, low carbonation. Not bad!

Tap. Black color with no head. Aroma is toasted hazelnuts, coconut, not so much cinnamon. Taste is straight up hanuta and candy bar, very tasty, but also very sweet. Viscous mouthfeel, low carbonation. I like, but only for a sip or two.

On tap at MBCC 2023, pours black with almost no head. Aroma brings out intense bourbon barrels, dark sugars and a touch of caramel — wheaty character underneath the caramel. Flavour is rich and complex, with intense bourbon barrels, caramel, booze and dark sugars. Intense, boozy, but well-made.
