Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours a nice looking clear brown with red hues and a tan head. Aroma is spice, some clove and citrus. Flavor is a little tart, clove, dark roasted grainy notes and spicy. Mouth feel is medium body with medium carbonation. Overall, interesting brew....

Bottle courtesy of bu11zeye. Murky brown pour. Some fruit on the nose. Faint aroma. Taste is of old malts, sharp sharp bitter and spit-up? Um, I hope that’s just acid reflux. Nope. Finishes the same.
