Keg at the brewery taproom. Pours black-brown with a frothy, tan head. The aroma holds hearty roast, baking cocoa, juicy raspberries. Light-medium sweet flavour with bittersweet dark chocolate, more fleshy raspberry, scorched earth, woody dryness. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Drying finish with ample baking cocoa character, with more pleasant raspberry, some berry seeds, burnt wood, earth, raisins. Really good stuff.

Keg at the brewery taproom. Pours clear yellownwith a creamy, white head. The nose holds dry, flakes wheat, lemon peel, husky grain. Light sweet flavour, crisp and dry, with light wheat notes, citrus peel, some grassy bitterness. Light bodied with average carbonation. Clean finish, dry and a little flinty, with more bitter rind, flaked wheat. Nice one.
