Got in a trade with GreenBayBA. 16 ounce can into tulip glass, no can dating. Pours lightly hazy/cloudy deep reddish orange/copper color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy cream colored head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big red/black/green tea, caramel, brown sugar, brown bread, and toasted biscuit; with lighter notes of nuttiness, toffee, roast, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of tea, dark/bready malts, and light-moderate earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big red/black/green tea, caramel, brown sugar, brown bread, and toasted biscuit; with lighter notes of nuttiness, toffee, roast, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate herbal, floral, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of red/black/green tea, caramel, brown sugar, brown bread, toasted biscuit, light nutty/toffee/roast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of tea, dark/bready malts, and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering hop/tea bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy, and fairly sticky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 6.5%. Overall this is an excellent spiced amber ale! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of tea, dark/bready malts, and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; very smooth and easy to drink for the ABV with the mellowly bitter finish. Really nailed this one, was not sure what to expect. Perfectly balanced mix of brewed teas and red ale malt complexity; with nice earthy hop presence. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on base style example.

Keg at the brewery, 11/25/16. Clear dark amber, large creamy tan head, good retention. Aroma of strong tea, caramel, roasted malt. The taste is toasted malt, tea, caramel, earth. Thin-medium bodied.

When I first opened the can I got a whiff of strong ganja hops, but that quickly went away. Now it has an aroma of malt, tea and some toffee. Flavor is more bitter than sweet some malt and Tea not too complex has a long bitter finish. High points in the bitterness count against it in the body. Okay beer nothing special.

Tap at Sidedoor. Unfiltered brown-orange. Respectable off-white head. Amber malt in the aroma, hints of vanilla, cherry. Sweet and sugary. Almost has some nutty coffee tones. Sort of insipid body, insipid amateur end product. Leans heavily into the specialty malts. Adjunct. Not horrendous, but would certainly never order it again. Comes off as a coffee amber homebrew. Generous numbers...
