Ahhhh nice aroma when I open the bottle. Amber color with a fine off white head. Ok lacing. Quite nice intensity in the aroma. Medium + body, and maybe a bit to rich carbonation. Tad sweet and a fine bitterness. Toffee, bready, fruity and grapefruit hoppy flavor. A quite fine and tasty amber ale.

Bottle, at Patrick’s. Dark, dark brown in color, with a thin, dense, beige head. Lots of licorice in the aroma, with a burnt touch, roasted, coffee-ish malts, some chocolate and a wee hint of vanilla and prunes. It’s lightly warming on the palate, full bodied and smooth, with some sweetish flavors. Roasted malts, licorice, hints of chocolate and dried figs, and a good dash of coffee. Some pleasant bitterness too, easily dealing with the sweetness. Rather sweet finish with a good dash of licorice and coffee. Sure a fine one. 160514

On tap at Patrick’s. It’s a black one, topped by a finger thick beige head. Some lacing. Rather roasted aroma with some coffee and a hint of pine cones. The flavor has a nice bitterness, mostly of the hoppy kind. Some roasted bitterness too. Coffee, roasted malts, some dark chocolate and a nice hoppyness. It’s full bodied and rather dry on the palate, with a nice carbonation level. Lasting roasted, bitter and piney finish. Nice indeed. 160515

Bottle. It pours a huge, foamy off-white head over a clear, golden body. Piney, funky and citrusy nose with some pale malts in the far back. Bitter flavor with pine cones, resins and grass, and a funky, lightly yeasty touch. It’s dry and a bit heavy on the carbonation, with a medium body fullness. Lasting vegetal, grassy and funky finish. Probably a decent one this, but it’s lightly off, and not very interesting. 160514
