On tap at Steamworks Mt Pleasant, pours clear dull copper brown, no head. Nose has soft blueberry skins, some earthiness, and a touch of spice juniper. Flavour is lightly acidic upfront, with earthy blueberry skins, a hint of juniper, finishing moderately acidic. Nothing too complex or interesting, but nothing egregious. Okay.

Fresh hop in January? Uh oh. On tap at Steamworks Mt Pleasant, pours a clear pale copper with a small white head. Aroma has some soapy, floral notes, lightly bitter pine, tired sweaty hops, and bready malt. Flavour is much the same, with bitter pine, sweaty notes, floral soapiness, and a bread malt. Sweaty, tired, soapy finish. Good hop varietals used, but not used well. Not good.

On tap at Brassneck, pours jet black with a small tan head. Nose is full of deep roast, somewhat rough bourbon barrels, and some earthy dry cocoa. Flavour is robust, with lots of deep roasted malt, big woody notes, earthy dry cocoa, and slightly harsh Buffalo Trace presence. Dry, woody, roasty finish. Very good.
