Very, very weird beer. Has a bit of roasted smoothness that reminded me of a schwartzbier, but then a surge of fruit and spice comes welling up underneath, forming the unfortunate flavor of back Jellybean. This is one of those interesting beers that capitivates you for the first couple of sips, and then it dawns on you that while you’ve got a complex ale in your hands, in fact NONE of the flavors taste good. In conclusion: yuck.
