Poured thick, black, with a strong aroma and tan head that took its time disappearing. Robust wheat flavor with a strong reminder of the alcohol was present too, but with very little hop presence. It was the aftertaste that shocked me, because it was present after a while and greatly later, almost overpowering in its taste changes throughout the growler.
When tasting this beer it was from a growler poured at the Rosemont Ram, brought to a party, so it was tasted through various stages of coldness (or warmth) and recapped and finished the next day. It was the transformation of this brew that was the most upsetting, I think. I want to give it a decent chance but I think I will try it again as a single draft at the bar to see for myself.
Great idea and hyped well too by Ram. Just wish I was more impressed overall.

Poured a very nice deep brown with a bit of nice initial head and little lacing. Wonderful deep sweet malty scents, good roastiness, and a slight hint of spice. Good flavor, with a wonderful roastiness and nice deep malt sweetness, followed by a nice light spiciness. Very deep and full on the way down, with just a tinge of heat.

On tap at the U Village Ram Restaurant. Served in a pint glass.
A: A murky brown color. One finger white head with good retention and awesome lacing.
S: Coriander is very dominate. Not much else.
T: Again coriander, with notes of lemon. Very nice spiciness.
M: Light body. Medium high carbonation. Crisp. Dry. The spiciness stays for a bit.
O: Pretty good. Most I've had have been overly spicy. This is one I could see sipping by the fire at home.

Served in a shaker pint glass at the brewpub.
This seasonal gift was unveiled very recently. It pours a hazy burnt sienna topped by over a finger of tan micro-foam. The nose comprises cinnamon, brown sugar, light maple syrup, walnuts, figs, and a touch of rum raisin cake. The taste holds notes of nutmeg, fig, brown sugar, light sourdough, and rye bread. Somehow, the spicy and bready notes really don't meld together quite as well as they could have. The body is a straight medium, with a very light moderate carbonation and a somewhat grainy feel. Overall, a nice bit o' brew, a welcome surprise on a cold Winter night like tonight.

13 oz tap pour into a pilsner glass at The Ram in Schaumburg, IL on the eve of sweemzander's wedding!
A - Dark brown clear color with no head, no retention, and no lace.
S - Roasted chocolate malts, cocoa, and coffee with a wheat hint. Not very weizen-like. It's missing the classic yeast characteristics.
T - Roasted cocoa malts and wheat with a slightly yeasty hint. Still lacking a lot of the classic characteristics.
M - Smooth and medium-bodied with a roasted bitter finish and high carbonation.
D - Well, I'm happy I only got the small for this brew. I wouldn't want much more of this than that size pour. It's not awful but it needs some work.
