Sep 9, 2009 Pours a hazy orange with a small tight head. The aroma is spicy and fruity with some anise notes and a nice fresh hoppiness. Flavor is about the same description wise as the aroma perhaps a bit spicier and hoppier.

May 4, 2009 Sampled at C&P Otown Throwdown, big thanks to Phillybeer2112! Pours a hazy light brown with little had. Huge malt profile and a spicy hop aroma. Taste is thick and sweet malt with huge bitter hop bite. Finishes a bit bitter, but a very good BW.

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.
