On-tap at Stone. Pours hazy amber/brown with a medium size, crisp white head, some lace. Smells light, crisp and sweet. Cinnamon, bready and malty. Tastes sweet and spicy malty. Cinnamon some pepper, even a bit of sherry cough syrup. Medium body, crisp carbonation.

Draft at Toronado. Dark amber with almost no head. Aroma is very sweet malt and bubblegum / banana sweetness. The flavor is the same, some sweet caramel malt, bubblegum, sugar, and a little grassy yeast in the end. Kinda flavorful, but too sweet overall.

Tap @ Stone. Pours clear copper with a small white head. Soft aroma of caramel, yeast, and spice. Drinks a lot like a Belgian strong, with a finish of bubblegum, clove, and yeast, with some bitter/sourness. Good.

Draft at Naked City. Hazed toffee brown with small ring for a head. Tart caramel apple, some light spice, slightly tart green bananas as well, lactic. Kind of thin and watery in feel with light carbonation. Really tart and appley, caramel, pecan. As it warms I get this weired lively carbonation on the the end that is like bakin soda. Not sure what happened here, but my glass seems to differ from others ratings and super tart/sour.
