the aroma is strong and smells like cut grass. However, the grass must get used by horses a lot. Regular pale, golden color. you know, I’m drinking it right now and it just kind of sucks. thats all.

Muzzlehatch warned me about this one, but I didnt listen. Fizzy, off-white head atop a maize-golden body, poor retention, no lacing, filtered, plentiful bubbles in the liquid.
Cocoa powder dryness rises up with dry, stale graham crackers, vanilla that smells more like a biproduct of short lagering times than true vanilla, and a bit of grainy, dry, attenuated maltiness. Flavor is heavily dry, overattenuated, with a filtered texture that seems at odds with the heavily drying cacao, vanilla and cinnamon. Really it just tastes like sucking on a cinnamon stick, with soggy, hay-like hops and obnoxious overcarbonation not so much too much carbonation, but just really large bubbles). Watery, bland, no malt depth whatsoever. I left the bottle out overnight to see what happened. The next day it was decidedly sweeter, without all of the carbonation to break up the texture, and a light chocolate syrup-like flavor could be discerned, but the beer character was few and far between. Didn’t catch the alcohol though. I think they would have had better results by just using chocolate. I’m no fan of sweet beers, but this one is just painfully dry.
