Cask in Pheonixville. Poured amber in color with a small sized beige head. Aroma of caramel with some hops. Tastes of toffee, caramel, piney and citrus hops which balances nicely. Pretty nice overall.

Thaks to Tyrone for the growler and eric for the many samples on tap at his house. Pours a medium to deep amber, hazy with a nice lasitng head. Aroma is american citric hops- hint sof metallic earhty citrus cascades, some sweet orangey citrus centennial and possibly grapefruit pine columbus hops- with a crystally caramel malt. Good thick sweet caramel malts, but a bit too sharp with too dark crystal malts, buttery caramel with molasses, with all the citrusy hops- orange and a bit of cat pee./ Relatively smooth with a decent tacky bitterness in the end. This was a pretty good double red.

Poured a red amber color with a small, tight, creamy, light tan head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus fruits, earth, light pine, caramel malts, and a floral hoppiness as well. Taste of caramel, citrus, tobacco, resin, berries, grapefruit, toffee malts, light roast, and a bit of alcohol as well.

Dark amber color with small offwhite head. Malty roasted aroma. The taste was the same with sweet roasted nut notes throughtout. Rich and full bodied.
