Bottle. Rather mild from the start for such a darker looking brown beer. When I saw alt, i thought I may not like it but this stuff comes across more like a gentlemanly dark lager. Yes, civilized and well-to-do with. enjoyable. One of the better beers I brought back in a few cases from total wine in durham. Hides the alky well. Good crisp co2. Fun session overall. Right up there with the better tasting alts like Erie Brewing Heritage, Schell Schmaltzs Alt, Long Trail Ale or Penn Alt er Ego, if not better. Yes, I think this may be the best alt I’ve had over the last 25 in the style I’ve tasted.

Bottle, best by 11/2015. Looks a little like a cloudy heffe. Smells like old high gravity lager. Taste is big freakin rude dull hops kick in the face. No freshness in this fer sure. Difficult and medicinal, I swear it has many of those old ice lager malt likker attributes. Cannot enjoy. If it wasn’t for the buzz catching effects, I may give up on this one. A big happy BS dull pine turpentine palate wrecker. wew.

Sample at the Inventory Reduction Beer Tasting on 08/08/2015. Brownish-black color with a medium light beige head that recedes steadily to a wispy film. Short strings of lacing on the glass. The aroma is oaky with malt, yeast and dark fruit notes. Medium body with flavors of tart cherries, oak, earthy yeast and malt. The finish moderately sour with an oaky and fruity aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Bottle in the hotel lobby, RBWG ’15, night 2 - 20/02/15. I might have dragged this one down from Asheville? Hazed orange amber with a moderate off white covering. Nose is tangerine, bitter orange, straw, melon. Taste comprises orange pith, straw, light bread, melon. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with light hop bitterness. A pretty basic IPA but drinkable enough.

From my future son in law. Smells like alarming volatile fruit. First taste is a big alky whallop. Yes, quite high in alky impact. Alky overcomes the whole personality of this brew. Way over the top, you’d never know its a fruit beer, heheh. Yes, this is black beer but its not stoutish at all.
