Tall boy from the grocery store. Pours a clear, dark, orange color, with a fair, frothy, white head. The aroma is dried orange, pine sap, cloves, and heavy elderflower. Sweet and sugary, with a bracing, abrasive bitterness. Medium to heavy body, sharp, and acerbic. Pretty nice.

Twice the Basement, which, while nice, is little too much Basement for one beer. Thick and chewy, strong on the caramel and toast, offset by orange, lemon, mango, and the tiniest bit of pine. Tasty, but the uber-heavy mouthfeel makes the sweetness cling a little too much; more bitterness is needed to counter the malt. No trace of the alcohol, though, and my glass seems to be empty.
