Tallahassee, Fl. - Fermentation Lounge - on tap. Dark brown pour, nice khaki colored head that leave a nice coat of lacing - odd accumulation of yeast at the bottom of the glass. Aroma is sweet and reminds me of biscotti cookies, hint of sweet liqueur as well. Flavor has an underlying sweetness with hints of bottom shelf amaretto, some butterscotch, some nuttiness, but it is just a little bit "off". Mouthfeel is thick enough. Overall though, the best of Golden Horn’s to date outside of the Grapefruit Saison.

First to rate! 8/10/11. On tap at the release in a mini wine glass. Dark brown pour, not opaque, with ruby around the edges and a fluffy, creamy tan head that cuts in half but sticks and laces a bit. With time a goofy layer of trippy sediment forms on the bottom of the glass... I can’t describe it exactly, but it’s nuts. Rich sweet aroma with butterscotch, amaretto, burnt caramel, and a hint of roasted coffee at the end. Sweet butterscotch and burnt caramel in the flavor, as well as definite amaretto, and there’s lingering chocolate and roast. In the end it tastes very much like melted chocolate ice cream. A bit sweet, but I’d say it’s their best yet
