Mate, WTF have you been smoking??

Seriously, I'm somewhat confused. In the "Mad Props" thread you seemd to suggest you liked my beer but that it tasted salty. Now you're saying cheese in a can and chicken stock. I appreciate all feedback, but there's not a lot I can take from this that would help me improve.

Unless everyone else thinks it tastes like cheese in a can and they've been too polite to say.

Since most people have now tried it, I'll fess up on the spices:

At the end of the boil:
Black peppercorns
Cardamom seeds (combo of the first 2 meant to replicate Grains of Paradise)
Licorice root
Bitter orange peel
Coriander seeds

At bottling time:
Ground ginger
Caraway seeds

Thanks all for the feedback. I was very pleased to have the opportunity to try this recipe out. If it hadn't been for the case swap I doubt I'd have done it. Can't see myself drinking 20 litres of the stuff! I have a few bottles left, and while some will be available at my birthday drinks, I plan to hang on to a few to see how they mature over time.
