"Best by 3/25/15"; drank 11/27/14 @ the Yarchives.

Brown/orange/purple hue.

Dark tan head; thick lace.

Fresh earth, orange citrus & sweet caramel nose.

Medium thick mouthfeel.

Roasted coffee & mild caramel flavors up front; fresh earth finish. As this warms, mango, milk chocolate & cream notes emerge.

Incredibly complex & fun to drink.

Batch 209. Poured from a 750 into a nonic, the beer is a very dark, deep, brown coloring with a fluffy, low profile, tan head. Aromas of molasses, caramel, honey, roasted nut, and a subtle sugary sweetness. Flavors are roasted and richly sweet forward, with a blend of coffee, molasses, nut, tangy caramel, earthy notes, and a bready backbone. Very rich, on a full, robust, heavy body. The aftertaste is sugary sweet and heavily roasted molasses and honey. Smooth, slow, lingering finish. Good beer.

A: poured into a pint glass to a nice shade of bronze topped by a finger of dense cream colored head that fades to a small pool and leaves minimal lacing
S: smells of toasted bready malt with some banana and bubblegum aroma with some spice notes
T: taste is bananas and bubble gum with some caramel sweetness, a little spice going on as well. swallow tastes like coke a cola with some caramel malt sweetness and a tinge of spicy yeast on the back end
M: medium in the mouth with soft and slightly prickly carbonation. the finish on this beer is refreshing
O: Overall it isn't a bad beer at all. the flavors and complexity aren't offensive but it also isn't anything special. Not sure how I feel about having to drink an entire bottle though.

22.4 ounce bottle into snifter, best before 7/16/2015. Pours crystal clear very dark brown color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the head. Aromas of caramel, toffee, toast, brown bread, nuttiness, honey, cola, herbal tea, light pepper, light chocolate, plum, pear, apple, floral, grass, and herbal/yeast earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/bready malt, spices, and fruity yeast ester notes; with good strength. Taste of caramel, toffee, toast, brown bread, nuttiness, honey, cola, herbal tea, light pepper, light chocolate, plum, pear, apple, floral, grass, and herbal/toasted earthiness. Light amount of herbal/spice bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of caramel, toffee, brown bread, nuttiness, honey, light fruits, herbal, floral, grass, light chocolate, light pepper, and herbal/toasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice robustness, complexity, and balance of dark/bready malt, spices, and fruity/earthy yeast flavors; with a great malt/spice balance and zero cloying sweetness after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth and fairly creamy/bready mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a very nice spiced brown ale. All around very nice balance, robustness, and complexity of dark/bready malt, spices, and fruity/earthy yeast flavors; and very smooth to drink for the ABV. A very enjoyable offering.
