Notes from March 2009 Huge pillow of off-white head(everything was liberally carbed that night). Grainy, average amber color. Dry basil, fruit pits, pepper, lemon & orange rind, big soapy lavender tone. Flavor-wise: mellow biscuit flavors that get totally overwhelmed by dryed thyme, hibiscus/other tea similarities, & heather. A little too much like potpourri. In combination with the alcohol, the expected bittergreen notes hit like a throat shot after taking a wrong turn into the perfume department at Macy's. I'm not sure if the thin body helped or hindered either. Due to time constraints, I did drink my serving(12oz) without too much hesitation.

A copper amber ale with a thin off white head. In aroma, a sweet caramel malt with loads of herbal chinotto, not bad. In mouth, a sweet caramel malt with fruity esters, light herbs, a bit short. On tap at AFB Burlington, March 18 2012.

on tap-pours amber/copper and still. Aroma is sweet medium malt-caramel. Taste is sweet medium malt-caramel, spice ‘hops’.
