Tried this one on tap at the Flying Saucer. Pretty rose appearance. Subtle aroma and taste to match.

Bottle from mar, thanks my friend. Amber pour, hardly an head. Has a rancid malt smell and an odd fruit smell. Flavor isnt much better to be honest. I wonder if the bottle I had might have been funky.

12 ounce bottle shared by cdumler. Pours a reddish brown with almost no head. Very much rotten aroma of caramel and garbage. Taste is caramel, nuts and vomit. Medium body. Something was very, very wrong with this one.

bottle thanks to metzlers in denton, tx. poured with a nice head that went away. color was amber/orange with a beige fizzy head. aroma of caramel, fruit notes, and as it warms up some spice comes out. flavor of caramel and some spice. a pretty tasty o-fest, i think this one is under-rated.

Bottle courtesy of ericandersnavy. Pours copper with a thin white head. Smells earthy and citrussy with a hint of residual sugar. Tastes of caramel, light spice and touches of pepper.

Pours with a hazy chestnut color with a quickly dissapearing off-white head. Caramel and corn aroma. Taste is fruity, metallic and bitter with some caramel. Fizze and dry.
