Draught at The Old Toad Dogfish Head Fest 5. Strange nose—toasted barley, popped barley breakfast cereal. Pale gold with copper tints. Flat. Starnge flavor or spice, cerewals, dried fruit, raisin (date?), cinnamon and nutmeg. weird but likeable. Very spicy and interesting.

Bottle .. Had twice over the past few months .. . an interesting beer indeed .. . pours a hazy caramel .. good healthy foam .. . light spice, prune, yeast, wheat, raisin, and more spice .. . light mouth, quite effervescent .. . love the background of this beer but a novelty at best .. . . They told me I had type A blood, but it was a Type-O.

Bottle - 750mL crowned. Amber pour with a short foamy white head. Aroma is very grainy with strong, dusty yeast. Faint fruits notes in the background as well. Taste is different. The grains have an odd flavor not unlike a multigrain bread. The yeast if upfront here as well with subtle fruit notes and soft herbal notes. Body is light-medium with a moderate, bubbly carbonation. Ends with more bread and grains with strong yeast notes, light fruit and mild herbs. Unique but still tasty. It will grow on you.

Tallahassee, Fl - Market Square Liquors - 750 ml capped bottle. Pours a medium dark sparkling copper with a very slight head. Aroma is odd and vegetable-like. Pick up some burnt pumpkin, perhaps a date-like essence. Flavor is odd, but not unpleasant. Pick up a hint of butterscotch, some roasty meaty notes, some baked brown bread. Mouthfeel is just a tad thin. Not sure where this one was headed.

750ml bottle, nice label. It pours a clear honeyish color with a fizzy white head that leaves no lacing. The smell is odd. Definitely spicey in a north-African sort-of way there is some standard cinnamony smell, graham cracker. It is mildly fruity. The flavor is floral and spicy. There is a hint of tanginess, it really tastes unlike any other beer. I am not the biggest fan. A lot of unique flavors here.

750 ml bottle from Binny’s-South Loop. Pours a clear orange-gold with a finger of fizzy white head and a good deal of rising carbonation bubbles throughout. Aroma of sweet malts, toasted sugar, chamomile, dried fruits, nectar, and crackers. The flavor is a little fruitier, but has the same herbs and chamomile, crackers, and sweet malts. Light-bodied, with high carbonation and a crisp, sweet, malty mouthfeel. Interesting beer.

Pale yellow with a thick white head. Nose is earth, roasted malts, dried fruits,, and spice. Thick palate, yeast, dried fruits, roasted malt, spicy finish.

draft at Coles’ Dogfish Head Frenzy, Buffalo NY. Golden pour, wierd aroma of some fruit, bread crust, wafers & light dog shit. Very strange univiting aroma. No wonder Greece kicked their ass. Strange Herbal, sweet, honey flavor. Interesting but far from enjoyable

Low fill line, thanks guys. Golden yeasty nose, some honey-drizzled floral and spicy notes. Dull golden pour with a short white head. Fizzy medium-full body, a mild touch of mint in with salt and herbs, light honey-yeasty topping on golden malt, faintly floral. Nothing offensive here, and drinks pretty easily, but unfortunately, none of the specialty ingredients really pop and there’s nothing to separate this from a standard (and cheaper!) Golden Ale. Does have the balance and harmony that many DFH specials lack, and I wouldn’t mind repeating it.

Pour out of 750 mL bottle at home, orange-yellow pour with white head, big lively carbonation. Aroma has notes of corn, grain, some grass, slight fruity wheat notes, but it has some things in it that I haven’t smelled before. Taste is a mix of weird corn, grain, some slight fruit, hints of lemon, grains of paradise but in a weird way, touch of weird grainy notes, finishes fairly dry. Interesting, but not all that tasty.
