Tap at the brewery Light gold almost copper color. Fresh oak and pepper in the aroma. Taste is the same. A lot of oak in this one. Light red wine notes dance around the spicey notes. Little to dry in the mouthfeel. The oak plays way to heavy in this one.The mouthfeel is dialed in with perfect carbonation and thickness. Would like to have had more of the wine come through. Still not bad but not mind blowing.

Served at 55 degrees. Pours a murky, orange color. Sweet and earthy aromas. Initially sweet, with strong alcohol flavor, and notes of earthy, grain, and bread. Well carbonated. Light but flavorful. No surprises at the finish, it’s dry and bitter throughout.

Sampled at the Port first anniversary’s party, May 07. Avant Grade isn’t my favor PBLA beer, But this was an improvement. cooper colored, aroma of spice and yeast. The beer was sweet with a nice spiecess. More depth that the standard brew. Not Bad.
