2.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Poirs light red. Aroma of heavy ginger and cinnamon. Flavor is dominated by the ginger, with a bit of cinnamon on the back end. No hop presence. This really is not good.

1.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 2/20
Sampled at GTMW 2012. Poured amber with a scattered, thin head. The smell was promising with cinnamon and citrus. The taste, on the other hand, was very overpowering with cinnamon. Very bitter - like eating a quarter cup of cinnamon, no sugar, right out of the cabinet. Very dry finish. I had to pour this one - there was no way I could finish much more than required for the tasting.

Pouring at GTMW 2012
Golden reddish pour w/ a big bubbled soapy head. Aroma is dominated by cinnamon and can be smelled from a MILE away, this thing leaves your nose hot. Avg palate. Tons of cinnamon covers anything else in the beer and burns out your palate. My first drain pour of the day.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Sampled from the at the 15th annual MBGSF. Pours a hazy amber with a slight red hue and an off-white head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma is full of cinnamon with a hint of ginger and a bit of underlying citrus. Flavor is full of a spicy cinnamon with a bit of ginger and really not much else.
