CharlesDarwin (1413), State College, Pennsylvania, USA May 31, 2008 22oz Bottle. Oxidization and bug spray aroma. A bit of hops and grass. Some aged fruit. Pours a ruddy amber with orange fringe and a rim of white. Flavor is a bit of potatoes, ginger, and candy balls. There’s popcorn! Some serious celery seed. A weak ass imitation of Eccentric ale. Old tasting and it’s not even been a year. Salty, celery and old. Run away. Guess what this isn’t doing? Aging well. Thanks Sean!
Rciesla (910), Brick City, New Jersey, USA Oct 12, 2008 Bottle and on draft at founders. Dark brown body with off white head. Dark fruit raisin, bready yeast, lots of spices cinnamon and clove. Good beer. IMtheOptimator (1122), Bethel, Connecticut, USA Oct 11, 2008 Poured a murky mahogany brown with fizzy/frothy off-white head. Spicy aroma of cinnamon, dark fruits, caramel. Taste is of predominantly honey wheat bread, some cinnamon spiciness, a touch of fruit to it as well, finishing a slight bit of dryness. The alcohol here is barely perceptible, an amazing feat at 13%. Though not clubbing me with spiciness and not the deepest beer I’ve had for its size, still a good drink that should in all fairness be a regular offering in some shape or form. General_Gao (2579), Iowa City, Iowa, USA Sep 25, 2008 Bottle shared at tasting. Poured a murky brown color with orange highlights. The head was light tan with an orange tint. Lots of fruit in the nose including mango, pineapple, and orange. There was also plenty of caramel, nuts, and alcohol. Full bodied and slightly sweet with caramel, toffee, and pineapple flavors. Kind of like a big malty/fruity double IPA without any hop bitterness. 17thfloor (732), Chicago, Illinois, USA Sep 24, 2008 Pours a murky dark reddish brown with a big thick fluffy beige froth on top, looks awesome! Big oily floral hop aroma, cardamom with lots of rich oxidized toasted caramel malt and some light spices. First taste is burnt bitter followed by sugary sweetness, light brown sugar and lots of vegetable. Lots of sugar that covers the alcohol well but doesn’t really add anything itself. Burnt vegetable aftertaste. Heavy body, syrupy with soft carbonation. This is a BIG beer. Thomas_E (5065), Copenhagen, Denmark Sep 5, 2008 Deep amber colour with an off white head. malty, caramel sweet aroma with some yeasty and spicy notes. malty, toffee sweet flavor with hoppy notes.
