An unclear red-brown beer with a dying head. The aroma is sweet woody combined with some spices. The flavor is dry woody with lots of berries combined with some malt sweetness.

On tap. Clear amber golden with an off-white head. A little caramel and hops in the nose. Medium body, sweetish burned caramel but a rather subdued malt feel. The finish is dry and lightly hoppy. Very quaffable. 070709

From tap at Stone Bistro. Pours cloudy and dark orange with a lacing white head. Aroma is dense fruity hoppy with a dry caramel malt base beneath. Very dry fruity and solid bitter flavour. Bone dry into the finish. A bit too hoppy, could use some malt to counter balance this imho.
