Powerful smell of grain and light malt. It had a warm brown color that was quite cloudy. The head was large with a fine tan almost creamy texture. The taste was of strong grain and yeast, not hoppy, slight malt but definately not sweet. much smoother finish than you might expect. It’s a "Slam Dunk" but an 8ft high rim.

Oct 11, 2008 From a 22oz bottle - Pours a slightly cloudy reddish/brown. Lightly carbonated with no lacing . Complex smells of dark fruits and light malt. First sip is creamy with spices complimenting the wheat. Alcohol notes present. Tons of complexity here. There is a lot going on here.

Oct 7, 2008 22 oz. bottle on 10/7/2008. Hazy mahogany pour, large, yellowish tan head that collapses quickly to a 1/8" layer that leave a sheeting lace. Caramel, fruit esters, spice waft from the glass. Tastes of burned caramel, some wheaty tanginess, and a peppery bitterness at the finish. Medium body, lively carbonation, smooth , some stickiness. Seemed a little harsh to me, needs a little more rounded malt character for better balance. Still, quite drinkable and not too bad.
