I just had a really hard time with this. Kind of an anisey pine smell coming off, with a mouthfeel like espresso and an odd, rooty herbal sort of Belgian yeast flavor. Lots of flavors coming together in a sometimes appealing, sometimes appalling mix.

Sort of a watered-down Pine-Sol or some sort of evergreen smell/flavor going on here. With the taste I think of the holidays-- a sort of ginger or nutmeg effect.

Where's the hops? Something like Coke in here, might be the carbonation and flat "dark" taste, but at least not sweet.
