Jul 23, 2008 Tasted at the Carolina Crew gathering, Greenville NC. More trouble get into this beast then it was worth. Thin mouth-feel. Overly spicy beer and a twist of hops.

Jul 20, 2008 Tasted at the Carolina Crew gathering, Greenville - thanks to ucusty for sharing! 2007 bottle, a big impressive one. Facto worked the knife on the wax forever before getting this one open. Strange aroma, a mix of weird vegetal qualities and some winter spice. Deep brown pour, quite murky, fairly still. It’s moderately hopped, but it tapers off quickly and leaves a somewhat watery impression.

Jul 15, 2008 Big ass bottle. Pours a clean auburn color. Frothy white head, and tons of filmy lacing. Aroma is real spicy. Some cinnamon, mostly. Fairly heavy on the malts. Flavors of nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice. Fairly nutty. Bread, and just malty in general. Light-bodied, very refreshing, clean and bright. The alcohol is nowhere to be found, very well-disguised here.

Ruby color, light foam. Aroma is of spices (maybe pepper/corriander) and malt, fruity with apples/figs.
Gives a nice warm aftertaste.
