On tap at Patrick’s. It pours a dark reddish brown body, lightly hazy, with a creamy beige head leaving lacings. It’s lightly roasted on the nose, with some nutty hints, caramel and a good dash of resiny, piney hops. It’s full bodied and rather dry on the palate, a bit heavy on the carbonation. A nice bitterness is supported by roasted malts and some caramel sauce. Pine cones, resin and some citrus zest. Lasting finish where the bitterness does most of the work. Tasteful and easy drinkable this one, but perhaps a bit on the bitter side, even though I like it like this too. 150315
