Crushed with Jakebra off tap at the brewery. Yum. What a nose! Sourness, leather, some good poop. Flavor isn’t as good as the nose, which is a bummer, but still was absolutely badass. Had 5 tasting chips, and I used 3 on this bitch.

On tap at Avery Tasting Room poured a hazy dark brown with a small lingering tan head. Aromas of horseblanket, leather, dark fruit and some vinous notes. Palate was medium bodied and smooth with a tart finiish. Flavors of horseblanket, leather, toffee, cherry and light vanilla with a smooth lingering tart funky finish.
