Served on draft at Beer Run. Pours a hazy orange color with a large frothy white head. Good head retention. Aroma of stone fruitd, bread, toasted malts and a hoppy finish. The taste is toasted malts, dough, faint fruits and caramel, and a bitter hop finish. Medium bodied. Refreshing.

Draft at Rustico Alexandria. Poured what looked like pitch black in the low light of the restaurant, with a small wispy head that disappeared entirely. Aroma was pretty much like cold roasted coffee. Flavor was pretty much the same with cold roasted notes.

4oz pour at Meridian Pint, clear copper with zero head. Nose is heavy coconut, vanilla, caramel. Flavor is so so, apple, pear, sugary, cola, kind of gross though. Full bodied, sticky finish. What a mess.

Brought this along and cracked into it at Dark Lord Day. Poured a dark brown with a tan head. Aroma was bourbon notes, a bit boozy, with a sweet malt character, chocolates, vanilla. Flavor was a very enjoyable bourbon, vanilla. A touch of toasted characters. Pretty good.

Great slightly hazy amber and copper glowing body with a bit of an orange tint and an absolutely stunning head with about 3 centimetres of pure microfoam off-white head - amazing. Aroma of hop pellets, cleanser, malt, alcohol, citrus and a touch of resin. Medium-bodied; Assertive effervescence with a clear kick of the citrus and herbal hops and a lot of depth in the palate from both the malt and of course the hops. Aftertaste shows more citrus and grapefruit notes than anything else, but some interesting herbal flavours, a good malt backbone and some alcohol depth adds to this one. Overall, a great looking and nice hoppy, highly carbonated beer. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Total Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 09-November-2011 for US$1.79 sampled at home in Washington on 19-April-2012.

Draft at Meridian Pint. Murky golden brown color, large thick cream colored head with good retention and solid lacing. Aroma of rising raw bread dough, brown sugar, light spice. Taste is bready, yeasty, chewy brown bread and light spice. If GT fires the brewer, I would re-hire him.

Thanks to Armin for sharing - turbid gold pour - nose is mostly chard, with some vanilla and light coconut from the oak - fairly creamy in the mouthfeel - flavor is a bit acidic, but is mostly chard and strong wood - finish is fairly acidic and watery - I thought I liked it, but meh.
