$6.99 750 mL, Arbor Place Beverage, Douglasville, GA, USA.

What a super beer.

Pour is dark brown and cloudy, with quite a lot of carbonation, but the head is thick, full of body and adds to the presentation and appearance. Like the quality product that this is, the head hangs around for a good portion of the drink.

I don’t detect the specific orange and aniseed aromas that others do, but there is no doubt that the beer is spicy and somewhat herbal. Don’t let that description put you off, it is really pleasant and promises much.

The beer is really satisfying, smooth, filling and totally disguises the 8+% ABV. I could drink alot of this very quickly indeed. The mouthfeel is full, as it should be, and it does a job in a way that so many beers just fail to do.

Full bodied, different, satisfying, tasty it attacks the senses and is excellent value for money. Real beer!
