Pours near black with a lacing tan head. Aroma: funk, raspberry, coffee beans and jelly. Taste: light chocolate, coffee and funk. Strange coffeeish palate.

Prominent pale wood character, mellow citric acidity, bit of funky twang, grassy bitterness. Drying finish, woody, hot attic. Rather drinkable overall.

Bottle: Poured a golden color ale with a medium size foamy head with limited retention and light lacing. Aroma of tart notes with light oak presence and some mild funky esther. Taste is mostly dominated by tart notes with mild funky ester and some oak presence. Body is about average with good carbonation. Straightforward with limited depth.

A lightly hazed golden ale with very thin white head. In aroma, nice crisp malt with light Brett, light lactic notes, light cereals, pleasant. In mouth, a nice lightly tart ground cherry, light lactic notes, very nice.

16 ounce can from Tavour. Dark brown pour. Rocky tan head. Dark roasted malt aroma hints at chocolate. Big roasted malt flavor has notes of dark chocolate, vanilla and treacle. Lots of warming alcohol in middle. Finishes dark, strong and bittersweet. A big stout that’s a bit rough around the edges.

This is now a 12.0% version. Solid beer. Treacle flavor with overt roast. Overt licorice on the flavor leads into anise. Astringent. I started rating it higher and the. Seems to keep downgrading.
