Handwritten notes: A sweet and strongly flavoured, truly unique beer. Usually I am very susceptible to advertising persuasion, but I tasted no vanilla. Really, I didn't even taste any fruit. It tasted like the old dresser drawers of a rich man, like premium oak and liqour. This pale ale uses its full-body better than most beers do. It may be a natural blonde, but I can't really say much more than that without making some "nice gunns" joke. Ah, fuck, I just did.
