My beer recommendation of the week: Poor Richard's Tavern Spruce Ale from Yards in Philly. It really does smell and taste like spruce.

and god, it's amazing. Spruce, molasses, and notes of blueberry and cinnamon. It's the best Christmas beer I've ever had that's not made for Christmas. The nose on this is amazing. The spruce is like rosemary.

Apparently it is made from Ben Franklin's orginal recipe.

awesome, awesome beer.

  - not this stuff, most of these are high octane brewmaster specials, these are not publc sale type inventory, and are sweet more like hoppy barleywine - zeitgeist Aug 28, 18:56 1
    - I'm kinda not a huge fan of barleywine, but I'd definitely try them. -- nm - loosilu Aug 28, 18:57
