on tap at the brewery. Very dark in color with a small creamy light brown head. Aroma is subtle, a bit of banana and clove. Full bodied with a sticky and thick texture. Flavor is dominated by notes of clove, with a long duration and moderately bitter. Interesting and enjoyable.

Light aroma of dark fruits and paint thinner? Very dark brown pour. Thin head and very thin body. Boozy and watery, not the boys best effort.

Awesome 32oz growler from the brewery. Pours a dark reddish brown. Thin disappointing. Pegasus in the head. Aroma is very fruity and also very paint thinners. Now there’s a cock and balls in the head. Now there’s a dog. Flavor starts out with the Old Peculiar "beeryness", but turns back into fruitiness in the finish. Lots of banana. Kristen doesn’t like it; it made her cough. Finish is pretty booby (boozy). Nice underlying malt profile but the fruitiness gets in the way.
