From wchesser, thanks Santa! In any case, this pours a sort of dull gold with with a white head. Aroma is allspice, a saisony honey tinge, some more spice. Taste is moderately sweet. It is certainly very spicy, with allspice pushing ahead with full force. The sichuan pepper numbness is there in the aftertaste but it is pretty restrained (remember that in mapo tofu or other sichuan dishes, the flavor is created with a combination of sichuan peppercorn and chilis). Body was nice and soft. I enjoyed it.

Taste at the Stanley Beer Hall. Clear, brown color, with a fleeting, khaki color. The aroma is bitter black tea, pine sap, anise, dry grass, cinnamon, and toasted pecans. Dry, flat, light, and bitter. Interesting, but not that tasty.

Sample at Collaboration Fest on 03/25/2017. Brown-black color with a medium thick foamy tan head that diminishes gradually to a film. Patchy lacing. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee and oak. Full-bodied with flavors of roast malt, bittersweet chocolate, vinous oak and coffee. The finish is oaky and roasty with a berry and malt aftertaste. Good beer all around.
