As is my Eagles playoff gameday tradition, I took a quick run out to Princeton for a few sips at my favorite brewpub. I was surprised to see this one still around since it was tapped on New Years Eve and I figured it would have been gone by now.
It’s a dark cherry wood color with no head and nothing resembling activity in the glass. Some vigorous swirling seens to encourage some oxygenation. Spicy aroma is savory and rich, a bit like an autumn potpourri with some dried fruits (citrus rind). Body is thin and slick, but seems fitting for the beer. Distant hops, somewhat citrus and a ate bite. Long lasting spice with lingering licorice notes and a slight astringency to the finish which does help to bring the beer together in the end. Oh yeah! What a run by Westbrook!!! 49 yards and three broken tackles for the score! E.A.G.L.E.S.! skaughty (621), Marietta, Georgia, USA

Thanks to "osbo" for a kind delivery. jcwattsrugger (5573), Florida and, New Jersey, USA
