Tap. Clear, dark brown w/ tan head coating the top. Strong vanilla aroma, with a bit of chocolate/coffee and malt. Very nice. Taste, however, is horrendous! The bartender told me this brew is good in the first few months each year, but goes south afterwards. No kidding! Flat, salty, & sour, it’s like drinking formaldehyde, which is so disappointing considering the promise it showed. Leaves a taste in your mouth like drinking orange juice after brushing your teeth, or maybe licking a pig fetus in biology class. Try the hefeweizen instead.
