2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
12oz bottle pours a deep orange with some thin, sudsy white head. Nose is all spice, it’s interesting because I get a TON of the sumac, mint is definitely there too, grains of paradise, lavender, some soap. Flavor is odd too, more nutmeg and cardamom, some light mint, some soap, a little tannic, sumac there too. Medium, herbal finish. Very strange.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
330ml bottle from Archive Beer Boutique. Coppery colour initially but changes to a deep amber. Decent had that stays for a while then quickly collapses. The flavour is quite peppery and leaves a dirty earthy aftertaste, musty even.
4.8 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
Wow! This beer is different. These guys really pushed the boat out with this one. Pours out a deep amber color with a good head on it. The aroma is a spice cabinet with sage, wild mint, anise and more. It is difficult to tell where the spices start and the hops end. The spices are dominant on the palate without being bitter. Definitely worth a try.

12oz bottle in a shaker. Pours amber with an off-white head. Aroma of light hops, spices, and pale and caramel malts. Flavor the same, with the spices not really adding to this beer. Average texture. Interesting but not the best.

Bottle at Babajan, April 2013. (my first one from Lebanon)
Clear amber with a small head. Aroma of oregano, herbs, toffee, some honey, malt and cardboard. About the same in the weak taste. The finish was on the sweet side. Unbalanced and odd.

2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle, 33cl - Clear amber beer with a non existant head. Aroma is spicy with notes of honey, camomille, oriental spices and caramel. Flavor is spicy with notes of oriental spices, earthy hops, bread and nuts. Not a good beer but definitely interesting. One or two too many spices to really pick out anything in the flavor.
