Bar Antidote draught, 7/5/24. Clear brass-golden. Giant, white head. Smells like milk, or oatmeal with milk in it. Buttery, milky, light with rustic cereal grain and a good maltiness. Despite the Diacetyl, this is still quite good. Excellent texture and attenuation.

Brewery draught, 7/6/24. Clear. Roasty, chocolatey, aromatic and clean. Sweet, malty, juicy dark fruits with succulent prune, licorice and dark chocolate. Medium-bodied, nicely bitter without being too roasty. The lingering prune-vanilla-char is killer. Very well-done with immense flavor for its size.
