Keg at the taproom, SD, 12/11/14. Murky mahogany brown with a moderate beige covering - not a looker just avoids a 2 ! Nose is malty, dark fruit rinds, light spice. Taste comprises dark fruit rinds, sweeter than the nose suggests, light spice, biscuit. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with sweetish tones. Ok but no game changer.

Ok but just a little overly sweet for me.

Very dark brown color. Smooth body, chocolate, cloves, with smoke very subdued. Very drinkable and alcohol well hidden, but nothing very exciting about this beer. Chocolate finish. It’s like so well.
