What's Your Name Mean?
"Want to play a game?" Used to be our response, but because of our growth and your support we're adding this link to ease your curiosity. No, it's not an acronym. Yes, it is a name! But it's not a combination of ours. In fact, Andrew and Kai are brother-in-laws. Each married to 2 of 3 sisters. Richard's brother is married to the third. And Voila! There it is! We are all family by marriage and bond. Oh, and the name.... is the girl's maiden name! Brownie points

Smells like a kick in the ass. Cranberry, ginger maybe, cinnamon, clove, marzipan. Pours dark brown with ok head. Supercloying tangy finish with spices that mess with your tongue for a while. Tap at Herndon Aslin.

Less smoke than many smoked porters. It's there, but caramel kind of buries it. Pours black with decent mocha head. Light tang cloying finish but mostly clean. Tap a Herndon location.

Cinnamon is big here. Some roast, a little vanilla. Not as much bourbon. Pours black and oily. Cloying tangy finish that sticks with you for a while. Tap at Aslin in Herndon.

Hops up front is very aromatic. Not sure what Erebus hops are, but the smell is kind of like unripe grape, grapeskin, maybe a little pine. Pours clear golden with decent head. Light bitter end with some hop tang. Tap at Herndon taproom.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: burnt orange haziness with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: big does of Citra and Galaxy hops (way bigger than Orange Starfish); seems about the same for the malts
Flavor: blends those noted hops and malts bittersweet and juicy to move into a nice finish of those hops
Texture: medium bodied, good as a sipper; pretty smooth along the tongue; a touch of creaminess
Overall: I'd have to look at my review of Orange Starfish but as far as I know at this moment that this just the bigger version of that beer. I would definitely have this again.
