Taster at the brewpub. Dark brown color, deeper than your usual brown ale. The third taster in my flight, but it still has a thin tan head hanging around. Nose is somewhat subdued, but definitely shows molasses. Taste is thicker and more whiskey-y than its abv suggests, thanks, perhaps to the corn. Great molasses center.

Brewery draught, 1/12/24. Quite hazy, blonde-golden. Small, white head quickly to ring. Not a ton of aroma, though it's serving on a wide mouth, convex glass is certainly not helping. Nor the ice cold temp. Still, it's clean and hoppy with pine, citrus and spicy greenery. Bit of rustic character and interesting mineral or earth. No booze or resin. Biscuity, crackery, but also with ample soft malt depth and good attenuation. Lots of pine, dry citrus and spice. Clean yeast, well-executed all around with more bitterness than usual for the style, but it's balanced nicely.
