Can from Final Gravity in Roseville, CA. Pours gold with a white head. Aroma brought ginger ale to mind. :) Med body or nearly. It's not all that dry, but the ginger is significant and wasabi pops into the finish of a quaff. Two of my favorite flavors. Wish we were having sushi tonite.

This brew is a dark brown color with a medium thick light beige head that dissipates gradually to a film. Patchy lacing. Aroma of roast malt, chocolate and anise. Medium body with flavors of burnt malt, black licorice, dark fruit and dark chocolate. The finish is roasty with a malt and anise aftertaste. Decent overall.

Can at Craft Islington Share - cheers! It pours clear amber with a medium white head. The aroma is soft, sweet, candy, banana split, sugary stuff, apple and pear drops. The taste is crisp initially, then soft, sweet, sugary, candy, banana, some alcohol warmth, wood and green grassy notes. The finish is dry and woody. Medium - full body and moderate carbonation. Sweet and hot. Not quite what I am looking for...
