On tap at the Crooked Rooster. They call it ’Wee Heavy’. Average off-white light brown head. Cloudy body that was nice copper/red/brown color. Average caramel malt aroma with light hops. Average flavor duration, light moderate sweetness, moderate bitterness. Nice complexity between the sweetness and bitterness from hops.

On tap for growler fills at Half Time. Pours a hazed caramel copper brown with a thin to medium sized beiged yellow head. Sweet malt, toast, caramel and toffee. Toasty, sweet malt, fruity esters. Toast and caramel. Sweet and fruity. Long malty finish with a touch of yeast.

On draft at Pony with Andy/James. Pours amber into 8oz glass. Aroma is thin and kind of zesty - almost reminds me of a porter for some reason. Nice taste - zesty, sweet, almost fruity. A little boozy but not that much, or not as much as I’d expect for the style. High carbonation livens up all of the flavors.

Draft at pony shared with Andrew and Brendan. Pours a deep hazy amber red body with white lacing. Aroma is sweet yeast, caramel, and some spice. Mouthfeel is medium and creamy with notess of spice, hops, dark fruit, wheat and yeast.
