Notes:
I had this at the Old Tavern restaurant in Philly, on the cusp of ole-town and by independence hall. It was a gloriously hot and humid day and we were looking for some lunch and this restaurant has purportedly the best kids menu in Philly. So we thought to check it out.

Perusing the menu, I was very pleased to see cask-conditioned beers offered here using recipes from dudes like Ben Franklin and Tommy J.

Cloudy. Has some spiciness to it, maybe nutmeg and cinnamon. I really enjoyed the first half of this pint, as it has nice flavor. Bit it is a tad strong as it has quite the kick. The spiciness went really well with the chicken I was eating.

I guess the dude only brewed this beer twice a year.
