Bomber pours with a slightly murky copper gold colored body that supports a thin near white head of foam. The aroma offers up tart to cherry tartness followed by an inviting bacon like smoked meat sensation that is working great here. The taste is largely somewhat vague tart notes back up by pork meat dominated alderwood like smokiness. This is working really well for me even though it's tart forward. Yes, have some.

Pint can pours with a clear brown mahogany copper hued body that supports a thin off white head of foam. The aroma offers up woodiness and booze to start and then reveals plum like fruity esters that might also be part of the rum character. The taste is straight up oak like woodiness bleeding into plum to raisin and then sweeter boozier rum like sherry and brown sugar character. The woodiness and booze are the defining notes but this does round out into a really nice sipper. Yes.

33cl bottle pours with a deep dark chocolate colored body that supports a thin tan head of foam. The aroma offers up a bit of plum and fig fruity esters flowing into chocolate, caramel and a sense of booze. The taste delivers similar notes with sweet sugar stewed plums and figs as well as growing chocolate maltiness and booziness. Another sip reveals thin wafers of dark roastiness and nuttiness. Solid offering.

Poured up on tap at the brewpub where it exhibits a clear bubbly gold colored body that supports a bright white head that leaves behind some spotty lacing. The mild aroma sweet bread, fruity esters, no hop aroma. The taste delivers prickly carbonation sweet fruity esters punctuated by vague modest hop bitterness. In the background is a grounding sweet breadiness that tries to fight off the fruity esters. Not such a good Kölsch as it's muddled and ragged by being too sweet fruity ester forward causing a lack of crispness.

Poured up on tap at the brewpub, Carlsbad, where it exhibits a clear deep copper colored body that supports a thin near white head of foam. The aroma offers up spicy hops and thin clouds of base malts and crystal malts. The taste delivers a pleasing semi vague spicy hop bite flowing into both mild sweet malts and crystal malts. Off in the background are thin murmurs of sweet dark fruity esters. This comes across as a tasty American barleywine.
