egajdzis (2865), Terrapin, Pennsylvania, USA May 7, 2008 Poured a murky dark amber color with a medium sized, off white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of floral hops, pine, caramel . Taste was sweet, beet sugar, nuts, tobacco, pine, light citrus, moderate bitterness and light alcohol in the finish. It left a lingering cloying sugary/molasses taste that coated my tongue. Thanks Steve for sharing this super rarity!
