Draught @ Brewery: This one pours a fairly opaque, reddish mahogany color. There was a this off-white head that didn’t leave any lacing. It has a malty nose. Mainly caramel and faint fruits. A touch of earthiness. The taste is good. Fuller body. Lots of malts, minimal sweetness. Caramel, earthy, faint fruits. A faint hop bite in the finish. Good!

From notes. Growler shared by Chalemeaux, thanks TJ! Pours orange brown with a white head. Aroma is fruity esters, caramel. Flavor follows, a bit boozy, some pepper spice in the finish.

32 oz. growler thanks to Chalumeaux, thanks for the chance TJ. Hazy red color with a fruity aspect that may or may not come from hops. Kind of like plums or red gapes, cherries. Not real off putting but not really correct.

Flavor is ridiculously fruity with a big amount of esters from yeast by product. The body is medium with a chewy texture. Perhaps the fermentation temperature was to high because the fruit is on the over whelming side.

Poured from growler hazy amber with thin white head. Aromas of sweet fruit and sugar has a slightly tart mouth feel.
