growler at the RBSG 2010 (thanks BBB63) - Pours dark amber orange with a small head. The aroma is a little sour with lots of malt. The flavor is interesting. It has sweet malt with a sour characteristic and dark fruit. Medium body. Different. Good.

On tap at Crunchy’s, East Lansing. Deep orange, nearly garnet-red body, thin dense cream head. Nose of roasted coffee, oak, and sour funk. Oaky body, slightly buttery but mostly sour with grapeskin and funk, also roasted coffee and toffee. Alcohol subtle. A strange beer, complex, but not entirely satisfying.

Sampled from the tap at the 2010 MBG Fall Fest. Poured a orange gold amber with a white head that dissipated to the edges. Aroma had a pine note with a slight floral note and a bit of sweet grain. Flavor began with floral notes, but transitioned in to more of a pine note with a slight sweet grain backing.

Bottle shared by Sean, thanks! Poured a hazy red with a gray brown head that dissipated to the edges. Aroma was full of malts with bread and grain notes with a slight sweetness. Flavor was slightly bland with some grains and bread but not much else.

Dog Days of Summer Gathering thanks GOT. handbottled. golden-orange pour, thin white head. nose keeps a moderate wood approach along with hops and some tropical fruits, tangy orange. wood profile is mild. light citrus, honey sweetness, prickly/spiced mouthfeel along with some tropical fruits. Palate keeps a nice dry-hopped profile although the overall aspect along with the barrel aging made made for a low carbonation with mostly wood barrel and prickly mouthfeel coming through. Barrel aging works well on this one.

On tap at The Livery 5th anniversary party. Poured a slightly cloudy amber with a light brown head that dissipated to the edges. Aroma was sweet with maple and sweet bread with a bit of funk and light fruit underlying. Flavor was sweet grain and got a bit darker with some fruit and a slightly bitter finish. Seemed a bit unbalanced to me.
