Keg at the brewery. Almost clear deep amber beer, small pale tan head. Palate is light, semi dry and has decent fine minerally carbonation. Thin malts nice light tangy toffee. Tangy ripe orange and mild spice. Modest liquorice before the fruity finish. Nicely citric and floral, the liquorice adds dimension.

The taste is bitter - sweet, chewy, salted caramel, cocoa, umami, peppery spice, rocky road, charred wood, liquorice and a touch of alcohol with a drying, toasty finish.
