Bottle at the second 42nd Floor Tasting. Thanks to Dan. It pours cloudy dark brown with a thick tan head. The nose is candied peel, soft of soapy, earth, toast and spice. The taste is toasty, earth, spicy action, mostly pepper, touch of green veg and mild astringency. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Not terribly well-integrated. Pretty so-so.

Bottle, received as an extra in a trade with Leighton. Cheers! Hazy orange, with a good, lasting, clingy, white head. Biscuit malts. Some cracker bread. Interesting notes of dried pineapple and maybe lime. Crisp bitter taste. Palate has a little sharpness. Finishes crisp bitter. Very decent.
