Bryan's Notes
The Look:
- pretty well filtered
- orangish-bronze color
- thin head

The Aroma:
- orange, clove, alcohol

The Taste:
- alcohol warming in the end is what you're left with

The Verdict: A little aging could help this beer round itself out a bit more. Their Brother David's Double is better at this age.
