Bottle pour at the bottle share held at Chloe's inside Golden Road Brewing in Los Angeles, CA.
2008 vintage.
Pours a murky orange with a foamy beige head that settles to wisps of film on top of the beer. Small dots of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt, caramel, tofee, and funky aromas. Taste is much the same with funky toffee flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of woody bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a low level of carbonation with an almost flat mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty poor beer that is possibly infected and not very drinkable.

I think this is also called "Commando" ... that's what I drank and there are some web references indicating they are the same.
Head only forms with an agressive pour and goes away quickly. I don't like when the head behaves like a cold diet cola.
Over the top sweet ... and I like sweet beer. I don't know what else to say other than disappointing.
