An amber ale with a thin off white head. An aroma of caramel malt, and frankincense, with a bit of pears. In mouth, a warming sweet candy sugar, with the alcohol warmth well blended with the curacao. A bit lighter than expected, but quite good. On tap at Max’s on Broadway, Dec. 29 2008.

Bottle labeled 06/06 thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a small, white head and a clear-ish yellow body. Some good lacing left behind. Aroma is of sweet biscuits, with apple, light citrus, ginger, sun tan lotion, pepper, mint, coriander and anise. Taste is quite spicy and a bit watery (alcohol % noted), with notes of camomile, diacetyl, and a slightly bitter finish. Light carbonation and a water like mouthfeel.

Tap @ Waterfront Alehouse in an Arcadia goblet. I should have been forewarned because I seem to usually dislike anything that has anything to do with Arcadia beers. It wasn’t cheap either but so is the bottle. It comes to the table with no head or lacing, looks completely flat. Color is ruby brown, and murky with little clarity. Aroma is overripe fruits and overly moldy and musty. Spices not really coming through. Taste is spoiled tropical fruits and spoiled apples. Its also undercarbonated. Not feeling it, the keg may be bad because I have had in the bottles and I remember it being better. The spices don’t really come through but how does one mishandle a keg. Will need to retry if it ever comes around in bottles, too expensive just to go out and buy for myself.
