Sampled on draft this beer poured a dark brown color with a large foamy beige head that lingered and produced good lacing. The aroma was sour, vingeary, dryish and a bit roasty. The flavor was dry, woody and chalky with hints of smoke and roasty malts. Long dry woody finish. Eh.

Sampled on draft at Johnny’s Wife’s Place II this beer poured a dark brown color with a small beige head that lingered. The aroma was tangy with notes of banana and cloves. The flavor was tart and bitter with toasted caramel, banana, clove and nut. The finish was long with caramel. Moderately full body. Nice.
