Draft at the brewery, 12/13/13. Pours a clear dark orange-brown color with a medium sized tan head. Good head retention. Aroma of clove, ginger, floral notes, banana, burnt sugar. The taste is strong ginger, mild clove, citrus, toast, faint chocolate. Medium bodied, low carbonation, a bit of alcohol warmth. A bit too spice forward, but a solid beer.
