Big thanks goes out to kenneyho for sharing this one at our tasting tonight! Served from growler into a Mikkeller taster flute. Poured red brown with a minimal off-white head. Maintained nice lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt, banana, fruit, dark fruit, bread, wood, and subtle peat. The flavor was of sweet malt, dark fruit, wood, subtle alcohol, fruit, and bread. It had a light feel on the palate with medium carbonation. Overall this was a fairly decent brew. The aroma on this one was quite nice and inviting, however the flavor was a little bit of a letdown based on the aroma. It starts to open up as it sits, but still doesn't impress on the flavor. Definitely worth trying, but that is about it. Tick.

Serving type: growler
