On tap at the brewery. Pour is murky brown with a small white head and decent lacing. Big smoke, raisins, toffee, brown sugar, roast, a touch of chocolate, and peat in th aroma. Taste is roasty, peaty, somewhat grassy, watered-down, coffee, brown sugar, and bread. Light body with soft carbonation. Pretty decent mild and packed with flavor, especially for 4.8% ABV.

On nitro. Cascading thick head on dark caramel brown body. Toasted caramel malt on the nose, not much else. Slightly sweet malts up front, with a good hop middle with some ashyness. Weird tart tinge on the finish. Bit odd.
