served in a goblet at barcade bc spuyten sucks. moving on... appear dank golden clear. smells rich golden malt with some of those bock esters, spice, clove, banano. taste is just rich smooth malt with a moderate spice ester presence. the feel of this brew is exceptional. overall this was the right choice over the bear republic BABW. NJ FTW!

Sampled on draft at Zeno’s in State College PA this beer poured almost black with a medium sized beige head that faded quickly and left no lacing. The aroma was sweet raspberry jam, sugar and touches of cocoa, wood and tobacco. The flavor was sweet raspberry jam, sugar, wood, molasses and a hint of smoke. Long finish. Fairly full bodied. Nice.

On tap for growler fills at Half Time. Pours a ruby tinged clear brown with a thin to medium sized beige head. Soft cocoa, chocolate, roast, light banana on the nose. More banana, roast and chocolate, cocoa krispies. Medium bodied, malty with some big roast, chocolate, light prune notes on the finish. Very smooth, no hints at all of the 11.5% ABV. Well done.

Pours deep root beer brown with thin, fine, nitro brown head. Lighter bodied than anticipated. Aroma/Flavor are some roast, grain, prune. just a touch of clean hop bitterness. Lovely with an indescribable wheat sweet grain.

Growler shared by beerloco. Pours dark brown. Nose and taste of raisin, plum, banana, barley, yeast and grain alcohol. Smooth for the ABV and style.

tap at barcade - dark red pour. Rooty, rum raisin, thick body. Sweet bitter with some astringency on tongue. Smooth, sipper. decent.

Tap @ Barcade. Dark brown ruby with no real head. Aroma is not very strong, some dark fruit, caramel, wood. Fruit comes out a bit more on the palate, along with some roasted malt and smoke. Not much of a finish. A bit disappointing.
