Draft at the Carter Payne. Pours a clear, straw color, with a small, white head. Nice hickory smoke, mild spruce, lemon zest, apple, and rosemary. Quite dry and musty, with a mellow, herbal bitterness. Light, astringent, and fairly clean. Nicely done and thoroughly interesting and tasty.

Bottle taste. Pours a clear, brown color, with a small, beige head. The aroma is maple syrup, black limes, cloves, and sea salt. Sweet and sugary, with a bold, surprisingly clean sour flavor. Light body, smooth, and only a little acidic. Simple and quality.

0.5 L bottle. Pours black, with some reddish notes. Some bubbles, but otherwise, a disturbing lack of head. The nose is dark chocolate, cherry, coriander, pecan, mild oak, cloves, and rye. Sweet and sugary, with a heavy, tannic bitterness. Dry-ish, complex, and smooth. Interesting and tasty, but it could be better.

Off-dry and malty, with a sticky, aggressive bitterness. Medium body, crisp, clingy, and a bit pithy. Sharp, hard, and quite enjoyable.
