Tap at Capitol Beer. Pours dark brown with a transient slight head. Aroma suggests bourbon and prunes. Med body. Flavor is musty sweet bourbon with some smoke and prune/plum or some sort of darkish fruit. Bourbon is dominant in the finish. Heat is well hidden, and the vanilla level is nicely subdued. The flavors are not excessively strong, which makes this a nice beer.

Tap at Capitol Beer. Pours gold with a white head. Strong fruit/citrus aroma. Med body, maybe. Flavor is rather exotic fruit with some definite citrus. It starts bitter and it builds to a quite bitter finish. Not NW harsh, but more like something from New Zealand.
