| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 3, 2009 CPLYFO 09. Thanks to Phillybeer2112. Pours a hazy deep amber with a thin fizzy head with some streaked lacing. Aroma has a slight bit vegetal character to it upfront, some dms, hay straw, then some bigger caramel and toffee malts, cracker, and some breadiness, with phenolics and some high abv noticed. Sugary sweet flavor, beet sugar, earthiness, brown sugar, thins it out a bit, slight burnt taste, herbal and grassy hops and a light phenolic kick in the end. daknole (2937), Plantation, Florida, USA
