Keg at The Pony Bar UES, NYC. Pours hazy gold with a stingy, creamy white head. Aroma holds a good bit of dried citrus, lemon, spices, pine needles. Big sweet flavor, rich and semi-ripe citrus, spices, ginger, pale malts and bread. Full bodied with fine carbonation. Warming finish with decent piney resins, further spices, flowers, sugar, salt, lemon and orange, grapefruit. Pretty ballsy stuff through and through.

Location: Bottle at Paul's Blind Impy Stout Tasting (which makes a lot of sense for this beer), 1/5/13
Aroma: The nose has lots of roasted malts, with some coffee and chocolate
Appearance: It pours a dark brown color with a small tan head and some light lacework
Flavor: The taste is heavy malt, with lots of roast, this one is more roasty then sweet/chocolatey
Palate: The body is fairly full, it is creamy, has a nice drinkability, a minimal burn
Overall Impression: I thought this one was well-made and more then solid. Very nice job! I'll happily re-visit this one again, and I'm looking forward to trying more of the Spider Bite beers.

12oz bottle pours a lightly hazy caramel amber with some sudsy, lacing white head. Nose is ok, citrus peel, blood orange, a little hay, a little dusty, grapefruit zest. Flavor is the same, something a bit like Orval which makes me think this is either an old bottle or slightly infected, heavy blood orange, dried lemon peel, a little ginger. Medium bodied, dry finish. Something a bit off.
