Tap at brewery. Biscuit malt, bread stuffing - poultry seasoning aroma. Clear copper with a moderate off-white head, thick creamy lacing. Bready malt, poultry seasoning - sage, thyme - a lot like bread stuffing. Medium creamy body. Sound absolutely bizarre, but yet again, these guys find a way to make bizarre taste fantastic.

Draft. Bready malt aroma with strong herbal aroma. (like a Thanksgiving stuffing). Golden yellow with small head. Sweet barley initially followed by sage, thyme, and vegetable (nice, not an off flavor) flavor. Really have to give it to AtG - reading the description, I really didn’t expect them to be able to pull this off, but somehow, they not only made a tolerable beer but one that was quite enjoyable. Incredible daring in making unique beers.
