Wittales (438) - Las Vegas, Nevada, USA - MAR 23, 2013
Appearance was hazy off gold with creamy white diminishing 1 finger head, spotty lacing. Aromas are off with musky, honey sweet malts, hops are spicey, herbal vegatable like grass. Taste are sweet dark fruits of date and fig, caramel malts. Hops are strange grassy, piney, musky danky herbal funk going on, alcohol hints. Palate was smooth creamy CO2 with medium body, lasting funky musky finish. I didn’t enjoy it.
