Keg at the source. It pours clear reddish - amber with a small fluffy white head. The aroma is woody, bitter - sweet, brown bread, ryvita, leather, toasty grains, floral, dried fruits and fruit cake. The taste is crisp, dry, bitter - sweet, rye bread, toasty spice, ryvita, dried fruits, fruit cake and walnut with a drying finale. Medium body and moderate, fizzy carbonation. Another well crafted offering from these guys. Not big or showy, but quaffable well
