Pours amber into the glass with a white head. Aroma is a bloody mary minus the tomato juice. Lots of celery and pepper notes. Flavor continues to remind me of a bloody mary, even tricking my palate into detecting tomato. Really interesting beer.

Bottle, 75cl corked. It pours a boring clear, golden body and white head. The aroma and flavor is on a completely different level though, with a nice aroma of grains, spices, some caramel and a peppery touch. Some alcohol and a faint hint of funk too. Sweet flavor, white sugar, with pale malts, some alcohol giving a good warming feeling, and a fint bitterness leading way to the finish. Full-bodied. A very nice beer, but a bit warmer than what suits it. Wouldn’t mind repeating it though. 090925

From the Bottle at the Falling Rock Tap House, Denver 26/09/2009 Some sour aroma. Amber coloured strong in alcohol and a little sweet on the palate with a crisp and slightly dry warming malt finish.

750 ml bottle. Dark golden body with a lively off-white head that disappears. Aroma has malt, spices and some alcohol. Flavor is sweet malty, spicy, some alcohol and a hint of oxidation. I have tasted a few really impressive beers from this brewery, but this is a bit disappointing. Sweet malt, spices with alcohol and low bitterness make this OK, but a rather ordinary beer.

Bottle thanks to JCB! - Pours hazy orange with a medium off white head...aroma is terrifically layered, caramel malt citrus peel, light spice, tart grain...flavour is similar, honey, licorice, grain...plenty of alcohol and some residual stickyness, but just delicious...

Mildly opaque amber with thin white head, and nice lacing. Aroma is slightly sour tangerines. Taste is powerfully alcoholic with the aforementioned tangerine, and spices unidentifiable to me by taste. High residual sweetness throughout actually strikes a nice balance, and manages to remain on the good side of cloying. A delicious and viscerally warming sipper for rating #900. $10.5/750
