Draft at the source. Clear deep dark amber color, tan head with good retention and solid lacing. Taste is big sweet caramel, light toast, toffee. Taste is big, sweet, boozy, malty. A big beer. Also pretty big. But tasty enough.

bubbleflubber (2060) - Asheville, North Carolina, USA - JUL 19, 2015
Pours a deep, dark amber into the glass, with a huge eggshell head that retains 4-finger deep for quite a while, diminishing to a medium cap that leaves thick soapy ring lace. The nose is of caramel, toffee and deep bourbon notes. Flavors are quite similar, with toasted toffee, caramel, some over-ripened dark fruits, with a hoppy bourbon finish. The ABV provides some nice warmth to the palate, giving an oily mouthfeel and slick full-body. Pairs extremely well with spicy foods (i.e. Sriracha and Thai Chili offerings). Warm, comforting, sweet, lightly bitter and alcoholic.... it also serves as a perfect aperitif or nightcap on its own. After dinner, it pairs well with a cigar or pipe tobacco. Lovely, lovely, just lovely. I will definitely be keeping this in my normal rotation.

OldGrowth (2987) - the Containment Area, North Carolina, USA - MAY 7, 2015
bottle, from the Beer Dispensary Apex. ok aroma, sweet, malty. big on caramel, some doughy bread as it warms, minor citrus. clean dark brownish orange color, good head and lace. Sweet flavor. Heavy body, creamy sticky mouthfeel, sweet bitter finish. it is what it is, a big amber, don’t think it’ll wow anyone, but is fairly drinkable for 10%.
