Jul 25, 2008 750 ml bottle. Dark brown, small head. Nose of stale hops like an old worn out IPA. Taste is sweet, spicy, peppery, and old stale hops. The old hops linger well past the swallow. Not their best effort or this is just an old, not well taken care of bottle.

Jul 12, 2008 750ml bottle. Smelled mostly of clove, but there were also whiffs of pear and cola/sassafras. Poured a clear ruddy brown color. The head was off white and reduced relatively quickly to a thin ring. Dry up front with some sugars emerging toward the end. Carbonation was somewhere near the middle of the spectrum. The flavor was spicy and earthy with a distinct clove note. Toasted bread and dark fruit were also present and a hint of sassafras came out at the end. Yum.
