Bottle shared thanks to Mark. Slight gusher. Almost clear nice chestnut brown with huge bubbly beige head, very hard to pour. Fruity hops, lime, pineapple, mango, caramel, toffee, dried apricots, cinnamon, cloves, marzipan, garam masala, chestnuts. Medium sweet and very light bitter. Medium bodied with lots of carbonation. Very good stuff, I just wish it wasn’t so ridiculously over carbonated.

Brown color with nice tan head. Aroma is nutty, malty, earthy hops, some thick black chocolate. Taste is black chocolate, surprisingly hoppy, more nuttiness, very complex. Carbonation is medium. An excellent Brown Ale.
