Location: Sampled at Tap NY, 4/27/13
Aroma: The nose is sweet and malty, some tart notes and a bit of wood as well
Appearance: It pours a dark orange color, cloudy, with a beige head
Flavor: The taste is pretty similar to the nose, a mix of sweet, spice, and wood
Palate: The body is medium, it is a little sticky, and it drinks like less then 9%
Overall Impression: I thought this beer was alright, but it wasn't a favorite of the festival for me. It certainly hits the marl for interesting though, so I'll give it that.

22 oz. bottle, bonused to me by BrewtopiaofPJ (thanks a lot, Mark), pours a cloudy orange with a small off-white head. Nose is full of scottish malt, honey, tree bark, and weird herbs that I cannot discern. Flavour brings out dry oranges, an interesting melange of spices that I can't really identify, along with wood, and earth. Very earthy, medium spicy and juicy despite being dry. ABV is no where to be noticed and it's fairly highly drinkable. Unorthodox, but pretty decent stuff.

Bottle thanks to BrewtopiaofPJ. Pours orange gold with white head ring. Nose and taste of rotten wood, florals, smoked pear, scottish malt and gently rotted citrus. Medium body. Refreshing. Nice beer.

Bomber from the Beer Diviner himself, thanks Johnathan. Pours a dark cloudy copper color with a medium white head. A big nose of some sour acidity, earthy notes and honey. The flavor is really interesting: certainly sour notes like cherries, earthy peppery notes, the Yarrow is distinctly here, more honey and lingering earthiness. Good. Very interesting.
