Draught, 4.8% at the brewpub. Subtle but good roasted aroma. Very dark brown colour. Small tan head. The flavour is also roasted, a bit like the aroma, but slightly watery. Still nice, though.

Draught, 6.2% at the brewpub. Good grapefruity hop aroma. Hazy copper colour. Small frothy white head. The flavour has a little grapefruit and caramel as many other APAs, but also a distinct teaish hop note. High bitterness, clean.

Bottle: Poured a cloudy dirty beige/amber color ale with a large frothy head with good retention and some very good lacing. Aroma of citrus hops is dominating with notes of caramel malt. Taste is a nice mix between some citrus hops with a nice bitter edge and some deep malt with limited sweetness. Body is full like I don’t see very often with limited filtration and good carbonation with no signs of alcohol. Very well brewed and quite enjoyable though doesn’t standout from the myriad of IIPA out there.

Bottle: Poured a cloudy hazy deep orangey amber color ale with a small foamy head with minimal retention and not much lacing. Aroma of piney and citrus hops is quite dominant with some notes of deep rich sweet malt. Taste is also a nice enough mix between some deep rich caramel malt with some bitter and citrus hoppy notes. Not too sweet or cloying which I enjoyed with a full body and limited filtration with medium carbonation. No alcohol was apparent. Not necessarily soemthign I would have very often but still enjoyable.

Bottle at DC local tasting. Dark brown, thin tan head, medium lacing. Aroma of cocoa. Taste has very subtle chocolate, subtle port wine, thin body. I think this one spent about an hour in the barrel, not much detectable evidence of the barrel aging.
