Notes

-Tons of flavor, dark gold and dry.
-Orange standing out the most with ginger in the background with the aroma of coriander.
-Grains of paradise not present. Next time I'll add a bit more.
-With the alcohol content just below 8% it's not noticeable at all, (until you've had 2 or 3 glasses then this beer will have a profound effect upon the imagination.).
