On Tap at the brewpub Hazy, deep reddish brown with a small light tan head and sturdy lasting lacing. Deep malty aroma, easy on the hops and some hints of the ABV coming through. Flavors were sweet malty, a bit woody and the alcohol is noticable. Nice smooth and fairly heavy feel. Again, not too hoppy but otherwise strong all around.

On Tap at the brew pub slightly hazy deep chestnut color with no head and only wisps of white lacing. Mild malty aroma. Flavor was also toned down and mild but balanced. Little hops but probly right for the malt content. A bit woody and green tasting. Pleasant though. A nice seasonal.

On Tap at the brew pub Medium red-amber with medium sized head and thin but sticky lacing. Sharp citrusy hop aroma and quite sharp biting biterness in the flavor as well. Lacking an equaly bold malt backbone. Fairly thin feel.

Growler Nice dark redish brown with a small head and nice thin lacing. Aroma is the woody dark malts and the whiskey really comes through. Very interesting. Flavors are deep dark malts and definately of the barrell. Nice feel and not much bitterness onthe trailer.

On Tap at the brewpub Very light hazy yellow nite white head and very good sheeting lacing. Very faint aroma, almost lke beer. Thin watery feel with the alcohol coming through since there is not much to cover it up with.

On Tap at the brewpub Deep redish amber witha small off-white head and nice lacing. Very light, woody malt flavor and I couldn’t detect hardly any hoppiness. A littel bitternes at the end and drinkable I suppose.
