Clear orange beer, irregular yellowish head, pretty stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: sweet, sugary, shitload of vanilla, some milk chocolate. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: sweet vanilla start, bitter touch, hoppy, bit grassy, bit weird. Aftertaste: bitter, more milk chocolate. Yes, there's chocolate, yes there's hops. But this is not the best combo ever, it seems.

Bottle @ Greg’s dump. Pours a dark reddish brown appearance with a massively carbonated head. Dull lemon citrus with some spicy piney hops in the nose. Some candy notes with a bit of chocolate and cardboard. Carbonation is out of whack. Eh.
