I'm awesome at chicken and dumplings.  My grandma taught me that shit.

Justin:

Aroma - Quite malty with some hop and yeast spiciness.  Slight banana.  Nutty and toasty as well.
Score: 9/12
Appearance - Light brown/copper in color.  Not quite clear.  Tan head lingers.
Score: 3/3
Flavor - This one is a doozy.  Getting some nuts, spicy hops, peppery phenols, some clove. Toasty and malty.  There's a tug of war between flavors but they're complimentary.
Score: 16/20
Mouthfeel - I'm not sure if it's the because of the nuts or what but I get very slight astringency.  Not unpleasant, just there.  Medium carbonation, medium body.
Score: 3/5
Overall Impression - This one was a bit perplexing.  Just when one flavor tickled your fancy, the next one would come in and take over.  There's quite a lot going on with it but it all seems to work well together.  It's different but in a good way.  It's something that I'd recommend giving a try because I'm not sure you'll see many beers like it out there.
Score: 7/10
