Bottle thanks to porterhouse. Picture sent in to be uploaded. Bottled 02.05.09. Pours with a muddy brown body with a creamy bone colored head on top. Great retention and lace, despite the not too beautiful hue. Aroma of citrus, caramel, grass and light rotting fruits. Slight perfume and citrus. Taste is malt first, followed by citrus and sharp bitterness at the back end. Longish duration. Viscous mouthfeel, light bubbles. Something in the malt bill didn’t sit right to me. Yes the hops were a bit faded, but there was a sort of rotting orange flavor that I dislike (and am not use to with C-Hops, plus the Simcoe that my bottle claims).

Pours clear amber with tan head. The aroma is roasted malts, nuttiness and caramel. The taste has nice roasted maltiness moving into nuttiness and then earthiness. It ends with plenty of caramel notes and more nuttiness. Pretty nice tasting brown.
