Sample at the tap room. Part of their experimental series. The beer is a dark brown color with an amber tint. Thin beige head that diminishes steadily. Rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of earthy malt and mild hops. Medium body with a savory character and flavors of earth and peaty malt, plus a bit of fruit. The finish is earthy with a bit of malt lingering. I was admittedly leery about a mushroom beer but this is pretty good.

Pours dark brown with deep caramel and earth notes. Mouthfeel shows the earth from the mushroom and a more nuanced hint of caramel and coffee hints from the brown ale.

Pilot Porcini Brown–on tap-pours a big tight tan head and copper color. Aroma is medium malt, earthy, citrus. Taste is medium malt-roasty/toffee, earthy, secondary citrus hops.

Pours a ruby brown. Nose is slightly mote earthy that regular maduro. Flavor is dirt, earth, minute amounts of mushroom, strange tartness (good strange though), meaty. Cool beer.
