Jul 10, 2008 22oz bottle, courtesy of argo0. Thanks, Aaron! Pours a cherry cola color; light tan head with excellent fine-bubbled lacing. Lots of cola, mint, and anise in the aroma; very odd but pleasant cola-driven nose. Medium mouthfeel: cola, spearmint, and brown sugar; pretty well-carbonated; interesting, cola and brown sugar dominated, spiced beer. Odd stuff. Lengthy finish: cola, cloves, and brown sugar; some lingering sweetness.

Jul 10, 2008 Dark cola brown colored body with a small tan head. Toothpaste/spearmint/anise/candy sugar nose, very strange smell overall, with a maple/caramel note mixed in as well. Flavor is surprisingly different, the spearmint is very dampened, the body is full, frothy and thick, and it tastes more of chewy bread crust, bran and toasted malt, with a little cola sweetness at the end (and the flavor of rosemary and sweet licorice in the prolonged finish). Weird stuff, but interesting.

Jul 9, 2008 Courtesy of argo0. Mostly clear brown body with a small tan head. The nose is very strange, licorice, mint, lavender and toffee. The flavor is moderately sweet, lightly tart and lightly bitter. The taste is fresh mint and basil, anise, cola, dark fruits and dough. Medium body is round with moderate carbonation. Interesting to say the least.

Jun 29, 2008 Tasting at JoeMcphee’s. This beer was all over the place. Smoke, pepper. I suppose the spice, smoke aroma could be described as the best part.. That isn’t saying much.

Jun 26, 2008 Bottle at JoeMcphee’s. Pours dark brown body with a tan head. Aroma is birch tree, root beer, ginger and cinnamon. Flavor is smoky sweet ginger spice. Not a great blend. ITs smooth like birch beer and tangy the plus is its 8%.

Jun 22, 2008 Bottle: Brown pour with a bubbly off white head. Strong anisette presence in the nose. Spicy licorice and a touch of chocolate. Creamy feel with a nice chocolate malt taste and lots of anise spiciness. A bit underrated in my opinion.
