9th October 2008. GABF. The brew I drank was noted as being made with hibiscus, honey, rose hips, ginko, passion flower and damiana! Clear brown beer. Dry and floral. Not overly complex but different.

A hazed dark amber ale with a thin lacing mocha head. In aroma, sweet butterscotch with fruity esters, light dark fruit notes, some woody notes. In mouth, a sweet vanilla fudge, creamy maple, not bad. On tap at Sunset Grill, Sept. 11 2011.

Bottle at GABF 2008. Clear brown - offwhite head. Dark bread, nutty, ryebread, caramel, sweetness, raisins, dried dark fruits. Plain.

Reviewed from notes. On tap at Dark Horse. Pour brings a rusty caramel color with a bit of a head and not too much lacing. Nose is lift citrus and floral hops with a bit of earth.and malt. Taste is biscuity malt and mild hops. Decent bitterness in the feel. A pretty good beer all around, but not my favorite of the day. Serving type: on-tap Reviewed on: 11-09-2010

Deep amber pour. The nose is softly herbal with a kind of odd, light bitterness. It seems quite indistinct.
