Just wrote down the score breakdown while the rest of the customers stared as us whispering what I thought I heard "....something...something..retards...somethi Good Times.

Rich, dense aroma of brown sugar, corainder, clove, and a bunch of sweet malt. The flavors follow through without being heavy-handed or syrupy in the mouthfeel. Malt, caramel, figs, yeast, banana, cinnamon, and even some hops all shine. Very, very, good beer. OldMrCrow (1200), Seattle, Washington, USA

This is a darn high-end BSA. I really like it. Nice deep brown pour with an absolutely beautiful head, gorgeous beer. Nice mix of brown-sugar sweetness and spicy yeasts, touch of hops to close out cleanly, this flavors absolutely hit the mark for the style. Lovely.
