Purchased at Bottles and Cans in Chicago, IL; enjoyed just after fighting for a dib-less parking spot in my snowy neighborhood. Appearance is a copper amber with a frothy tan head. Aroma is unique, smells boozy with an interesting malt profile, kind of smells like malty body odor. Actually that sounds disgusting, but it's really not that bad. Taste goes down with a light burn, caramel notes, very sweet, oak, definitely barley-wine like but different. I kinda like it, definitely boozy.

Draft sampled at a tasting event. From notes. Pine and citrus hops with dark fermented fruits and caramelized sugar. Wow, another homerun from Spiteful.
