Tap @ The Tap. Pours a reddish gold with no head and served in a brandy snifter. Nose is musty with fresh caramel. Flavor is sweet but continues with an almost saison like quality of pleasent barnyardy hay with a nice funky twang. Reminded me of La Chouffe but with further caramelization. It was a delicious sipper.
