On tap at the brewery. Pours medium amber with a moderate amount of beige/white head, dissipates slowly and laces well. Nose and taste are both immediately malty sweet, caramel, toast, and molasses, with a small floral to pine note of hops.Aroma is sweet medium malt-caramel/toffee/brown sugar, some pine hops. Sweeter than normal brown shugga and I don’t think it’s as well balanced.

Taste is sweet medium malt-caramel/toffee/brown sugar, some pine hops. A malt bomb, then there is some offset from the hops. As it warms, it balances.
