heemer77 (3611), Savannah, USA Jul 2, 2008 From a 330 ml bottle. Nearly half the bottle went all over my desk. I had let it sit outside of the fridge for about 30 minutes, obviously, that was about 30 minutes too long. Couldy dark, rusty brown with a now light tan and orange head. The aroma is bready and malty with some notes of the ginger. There is also a cocoa base under that. The taste has some light chocolate underlying everythign else. There is some cinnamon and also a mild citrus notes. Overall, a decent brew that is a little bit spicy. jefcon (821), Arlington, Virginia, USA Jun 14, 2008 Ruddy, deep brown in color with a small, diminishing head. Aromas of lavender, ginger, candy sugar, and honey. Juicy and lemony on the first bite, lots of sugar, then a souring drying finish. Odd beer. decaturstevo (1126), decatur, Tennessee, USA Jun 10, 2008 Very spicy with a little perfume like aroma. Slightly hazed brown pour with tan head and lace. A very sour flavor that changes to a tart bitter. Thin and foamy. A beer that tastes no where near as good as it smells. ChainGangGuy (1457), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA Jun 2, 2008 Appearance: Pours a hazy, dark brown body with a full, frothy, beige-colored head.
Smell: The nose is a disorderly heap of odd notes: smoked berries, herbs, menthol, shaved ginger, and spice. Heavens!
Taste: Sourish malt flavor initially. Then, you get some berries, spice, and a mild ginger taste. Gnarled wood bark bitterness. Slight acidity. Some mentholyptus. It gets a bit twangy midway. Spicy, lightly btiter finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonaton.
Drinkability: For me, it was a mess as it never really came together for me. Ah well! Shag (1750), Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA May 31, 2008 A dark brown appearance with a beige head. This smells like a Halls cough drop. Well a chocolate covered Halls. The flavor is rather sour with some mint, ginger, chocolate, and nutmeg. The palate was quite watery. Not sure what the goal was here, if to make a crazy ass beer that kind of sucks they accomplished that!
