22oz bottle: Pours to a dark brown, mostly opaque but does not appear to be cloudy or have any particles in it. Medium tan colored head at first, fades somewhat quickly to a small, thin covering atop the beer. The aroma is light yeast, wood, light plums, hints of dark fruit, and some caramel and light roast. Taste shows some yeast, light wood, toasted wood, plum, a light spice from the yeast that tastes just a bit like clove & cinnamon, with notes of pear, dry apple, almost a hint of smoke, and some mild earthy hops. Medium bodied, medium carbonated. Finishes with a light roast & hints of mild licorice.

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.
