On tap at the Wesley Chapel Brass Tap. It pours up mahogany with some deep ruby hues and a mocha head. It leaves a decent amount of lacing behind on the glass. The modest aroma offers up citrus hops, pine hops and dark roasted malts. The taste enters with a pulse of citrus hop bitterness and to a lesser extent hop flavor. That brief moment of hoppiness is swallowed whole by bitter spicy hops and earthy hops to about midway. It then gets a bit green and herbal with sort of wet hops before a moderate level of very dark roasted malts, a touch of toffee and then burnt malts help take this to the finish. Wow, love this stuff.

Bottle 37,5 cl. Courtesy of Doodler. Pours a clear orangey brown with a small, rough off-white head. Sweet caramel and oak in the nose. Solid body, carbonation is a little low, sweet roast and dark, dried fruits, clearly sweet oaky with some toast and an edge of smoke - or perhaps tar? No real bitterness, but a little warming bitterness. An odd beer. 220611

16 oz bottle - hazy gold, effervescent pour, lasting head - wheaty, yeasty, tangy aroma, with mild phenols and notes of pear - kind of smells more like a hefe - flavor starts off strong, with some wheat, mild tartness (bordering on sour), some earthy phenols, apple, yeast - falls apart halfway through, becoming watery as most of these flavors dissipate, leaving only bland malt and a moderate acidity - had promise at first, but ultimately lame.

Bottle. Pours dark brown with a creamy, light tan head. Rich malt aroma, bit of toffee and brown sugar coming through. Really nice flavor, quite sweet, modest toast, lots of toffee and caramel, mild alcohol, mild earthy bitterness. Medium to full in body with fine to average carbonation. Warming finish, more sweet, sugary caramel and brown sugar, then distinct almonds. Great beer. Love it.
