Bottle purchased from the brewery. Poured a clear yellow orange color with a very small white head. Aroma was grassy hop notes. Crisp hop notes. Chewy, refreshing.

4 oz pour on draft at Meridian Pint during their 6th anniversary celebration. Black with light tan head. Aromas of tobacco, whiskey, smoked wood, dark chocolate. Tastes of whiskey, oak, tobacco, smoked wood, dark chocolate, licorice. Medium body with a dry finish. Not quite what I was expecting but still pretty good. Not quite as good as the base beer.

Draft at Yard House-Springfield. Medium golden pour with small creamy white head. Soft floral hoppy nose, taste adds sbit of spiciness. Sharp, soft bitter hop bite makes for a gentle introduction to the style. A bit more than an APA.

Cask at Fair Winds. This is creamy as all get out! Barrel, vanilla, chocolate, coffee. Flavor is the same. Very light boozy notes. Some minor green pepper notes, but otherwise a fantastic beer!!!

~10oz pour at the brewery. Poured a clear copper yellow color, maybe more orange. With a nice lightly off-white head. Aroma was a lot of solid hop resin notes, blast of floral notes, juicy citrus. Flavor was about the same, but include some really nice malt backing, which cuts through some of the bitterness, but doesn’t lead to a lot of sweet, cloyingly boozy notes. The alcohol is there, but is masked very well. Solid.
