Mar 29, 2009 Tap at Rattle N Hum. Dark brown beer with a thick tan head. The aroma is quite spicy. Loads of cinnamon and clove. Chewy sweet maltiness with some dark maltiness. Light molasses. The spiciness is pretty intense but it works pretty well. Spicy without being woody. Finishes sweet and spicy. Pretty solid winter beer.

Mar 14, 2009 On Draft at Rattle & Humm, NYC. Pours a dark body. Noticeably spicy and hopped beer. This is a pretty good winter warmer style ale.

Mar 8, 2009 Draft at Ginger man. Dark w/moderate head. Very little aroma in my glass. Taste was gingery coffeee. Not that successful IMO.

Mar 1, 2009 Crushed with Jakebra at BSAF. Yeah, definitely spiced. Cinnamon up the ass nose. Flavor is the same. Interesting but not that good.

Feb 28, 2009 Nice dark brown color. Translucent in appearance. Nice looking spice/herb/vegetable beer. A nice and sharp pungent beer. The ginger is very pungent. I love the aroma. This spice/herb/vegetable has one of the most pungent aromas. Very nice. Sweet aroma also comes out. This aroma is f’in lovely. A little on the thin side. I wish it had a better palate to carry the spicy flavors. The beer is really good. It surpasses the aroma in strength. I think it would have a better taste if the palate is better. Overall, awesome beer. You should try this.

Feb 17, 2009 on tap @ papago...
dark copper-y brown colored pour with a creamy light tan head. the foam seems pretty determined to stick around and also leaves a bunch of drippy lacing behind.
very sweet smelling with brown sugar, a touch of pale molasses, spicy cardamon like earthiness, orange and other sweet fruits.
the palate is very brown sugar sweet... normally a bad thing but in this case spiciness and alcohol clean it up quite well enough. pumpkin pie spice numbs the tongue after flavors of molasses, malt and raisins pass by. the finish strikes me as soapy since ginger too often doesn’t translate well.
medium body is kept from becoming sticky with help from spice overload and alcohol’s presence.
too sweet but not bad...6/3.5/6/3/14/3.3

Feb 4, 2009 22oz bottle with Butters. Pours a light tan head that laces with a dark amber body with ruby highlights. Tastes of ginger, citrus, and some spice. The ginger lingers and is a bit too strong for me.
