UPDATED: SEP 26, 2011 Heavy brown in color, with a thin white head. Aroma of fresh picked flowers, earthiness, and roasty black malt, with maybe some soft tones of orange zest. Taste had some black malty earthy sweetness followed by a clean grassy hop finish. Very light nuttiness in the middle, I think. Very balanced with a slight cloy at the start. Dry finish, earthy, and not very bitter. At least, not as bitter as I expected.

Bottle @ Beer Connoisseurs Tasting in FoCo. Dark brown appearance with a tan head. Chocolate malty aroma with a mild piney hoppy nose. Pretty mild piney hoppy, mostly chocolate malty flavor. I’d like to see a stronger hop presence.

On Tap at Breckenridge Brewery Bar-B-Que, 471 Kalamath Street Denver 16/09/2010 Hoppy aroma. Dark coloured strong in alcohol and hoppy with a hint of dryness in a bitter roast malt finish.

On tap at Breckenridge BBQ poured a clear dark reddiosh brown with a lasting creamy tan head. Aromas of roastiness, eartrhiness, grapefruit and light pine. Palate was medium bodied and smooth with a dry finish. Flavors of earthines, roastiness, grapefruit and a hint of pine wioth a smooth dry lingering moderatly bitter finish.
