Appearance: Dark Amber leaning towards Deep Red, cloudy from the yeast. Head is large bubbles, fairly high carbonation, but fast to dissipate. Large effervescent bubbly head is replaced with a less copious dense head with tight little bubbles.

Aroma: Musty, like my grand dads cellar that was stored with enough cord wood for several winters.

Flavor: Instantly hit with some coriander and other spice flavors. Not sure if it is all from the yeast or if spices are thrown in the mix when this is brewed/fermented.

Mouthfeel: Thin.

Overall Impression: A good beer, worth the price of admission to the liquor store to get it. Not overly remarkable, but far from ordinary.

Comments: A fair pour. Wonder how it would age? Would something unique develop in the bottle?
