On draft at Altamont. It pours a clear light amber/orange color with an off white head. The aroma has a good amount of barrel, although it comes across as more bourbon than wine with vanilla, light caramel, tart plum and funky, fruity esters. The flavor is great. Light funk and tartness with plum and orange fruitiness up front followed by funk and bourbon/wine barrel notes. The finish is tart, fruity and phenolic with medium bitterness that turns slightly acrid at the finish which is the only thing keeping this from being a top notch sour for me. Rich Mahogany is a pretty bitter beer, so they may have been better served crafting a recipe specifically for souring, but its still not bad at all, in fact its pretty tasty. The bitterness does meld nicely with the phenols. Not as good as their Funky Operator, but still quite solid.

Tap at Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours amber/gold with a white head. Aroma of floral/spicy/fruity hop. Med body. Flavor is floral/spicy, with some mixed fruits. Probably with citrus. It’s not dank, but it has something rather similar. It’s really tasty, and finishes towards bitter, but not very. Never noticed any heat.

On nitro at Altamont. It pours light brown with a creamy, light khaki colored head. The aroma is mostly toasted malt with light hints of roast and chocolate. The raspberries come out much stronger in the flavor, but still rather subtle. Lots of toast, light coffee and cocoa with a mildly tart and toasty, raspberry finish. Subtle but good. It has a relatively light yet oily body.

On tap at Altamont. It pours a very dark mahogany/brown color with a light tan head. The aroma has a great balance of chocolate, coffee and toasted bread. Nice. The flavor is very toasted with a solid malt profile and hints of coffee and cocoa. Full bodied with a hint of acidity and roasted malt in the finish. The English yeast Altamont uses is perfect for this kind of beer. Great stuff if you like Brown Ales.

On draft at Tap 25. It pours a very clear light golden color with a white head. The aroma is potent with dank, grass, tropical fruit and a touch of garlic. They got all the great hop aromas in there. The flavor is the same. More notes of peach, mango, pineapple and grass with low bitterness, clean and easy drinking on the palate. Very diverse and complex hop profile. Full bodied, with a light honey-like malt profile. Awesome stuff.

Tap at Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours translucent gold with a slight white head. Aroma is dankish. Med body or better. Biting hop forward. It’s dank; fruity. Malt is present, but is solely for hop support. Fruit seems to include a tropical aspect. Bitter. Hoppy. Like fresh wet hop ale. Very nice.
