Location: Tap at RnH, 4/17/10
Aroma: Nose of malts, fruit, dust, and grains
Appearance: Pours a hazy copper-orange color
Flavor: Taste is earth, fruit, dust, and some slightly off sour notes
Palate: The body is crisp with an alright mouthfeel
Overall Impression: This beer is decent, but there is something that is just a bit off in the flavor. Other then that, I don't have much to say on it. The score would be a bit higher if it wasn't for that "off" feel to the flavor.

Draught at Rattle ’n Hum, New York
Hazy amber color. Light malt and cookies aroma. Good body, strong malt and caramel flavor, but also burning alcohol; vanilla oak touch; correct bitterness. It reminds me some Wheat Wine. Powerful but unimpressive.

Cask at Brazen Head - I got this because it was a year old, operating on the assumption that a beer this strong would naturally get better with time - what I discovered is that age will not mellow crappiness - not one bit - hazy orange - aroma of cane sugar sweetness, tangy orange, a bit of dough - fairly innocuous/indistinct, in the nose and on the palate - really sugary sweet and moderately boozy - somehow manages to be thin in body, despite its strength and apparent sweetness - a little bit herbal, with lingering citrus-like tang - extraordinarily one dimensional - lacking any memorable character, unless you count that "man, am I really still drinking this?" factor - meh.
