Sampled from a bottle this beer poured a dark honey color with a medium sized foamy beige head that lingered and left a bit of lacing. The aroma was pine, lemon and a bit of cat pee. The flavor was bitter, dry and rough with pine, cat pee and cactus notes. Long finish. Medium body.

Tap at the brewery. Pours hazy medium golden. Aroma is almost nil. Flavor is tart grapefruit juice, lemon, bread, grasses, green leaves, lemon zest, some funk. Really interesting and nice. Aroma took a hit or this would be rated higher.

Rich deep dark brown coloured body with a thick dense brown opacity and a nice, two centimetre tall tan and light-brown head. Aroma of pure chocolate, a ton of anise and canella, some brown sugars, bunches of cloves and a bit more spiciness - this time from allspice. Very pungent through and very complex and super nice. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong rich roasted malt flavours at first with some chocolate and a big dose of coffee, but the spices hit way harder than anything else with the anise and cloves by far the strongest. Aftertaste shows more of the pungency from the chocolate and roasted malt with a little spiciness and a tiny amount of alcohol near the end. Overall, a very well-balanced beer with a bunch of chocolate and roasted malt notes with even more spicy qualities and a touch of coffee as well, but well-spiced and showing some good sweetness, all with a slightly thin feel, probably due to the age, but hardly any pungency, astringency or bitterness, once again, probably due to the age! I sampled this 75 cL corked and caged bottle purchased from Costco in Pentagon City (Arlington), Virginia on 12-November-2015 for US$6,89, sampled at home on the Eastern Shore of Virginia in Pungoteague, Virginia on 26-January-2018, a bit after two years after purchase. Batch #4, Best By: February 2017 (from Cork) // Purchased: 12-November-2015 // Sampled: 26-January-2015
