On tap at Soul Barrel. Pours nearly black with a beige head. Dark chocolate and toasted bread on the nose. Flavour has toasted bread and cacao nibs, but softened by the nitro. I think the base is good, but would be better expressed off nitro.

On tap at Soul Barrel. Pours clear gold with a white head. Bready nose, fresh crust, slightly floral. Flavour has a great, clean malt profile with dry, grassy, floral hops. This is probably the best maibock I've had to date.

Bottle pour at Banana Jam Café. Pours clear ruby with a white head. Tons of musty red wine grape skins, spicy, rustic wild yeast, crunchy dry grass on the nose. Flavour is earthy and acidic with lots of red wine grape skins, a good musty wood character. Excellent vinous wild ale.
