12 ounce bottle. Hazy dark reddish brown color. Large fluffy beige head. Rich sweet malt aroma has notes of caramel, brown sugar and dark fruit. Tart toasted malt flavor with more brown sugar and dark fruits. Chewy and full bodied. Notes of vanilla and herbal hops in the finish.

Rating from 3-28-2010....Pours light to medium brown...small beige head....aroma is sugar and malt...very strong on the sugar...flavor is sugar also mixed with malt and spices....brown sugar and a prune/raisin taste...no complexity to it...yet also not offensive.....as it warms up, I get a little clove/banana action in the mouth

Washington Commons, Brooklyn tap ($6): Pours a reddish color with a white head. Aroma is candy, caramel, and a bit of spice. Taste is kind of flat and uncomplex. It is slightly sweet, slightly spicy, but really has no depth past that. This is just not that good.

Pours cloudy brown. Smells of bread yeast and banana. Floral hops in teh aroma as well as booze. Lots on the tongue and palate. Medium carbonation. Pretty good.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Oak Tree, 12/16/12
Aroma: The nose has lots of banana, spice, Belgian yeast, candied sugar, and some wheat too
Appearance: It pours a dark reddish-brown color with a thick foam of beige head and minimal lace
Flavor: It is on the sweet side, with some yeast, spice, and mild hops too, but the sweetness dominates
Palate: The body is medium, it feels quite a bit sticky, and leaves a sticky, lingering tingle on the mouth
Overall Impression: This one is kind of a mixed bag. There are good components, but there are really bad components too. It's hard too go too high on a beer that leaves such an odd and a little unpleasing feel on the mouth. Like I said, it is a mixed bag, but my score reflects my overall feel of the whole combination There's some good, bad, and everything in between here.

Bottle shared at the 6th annual Richmond Industry Gathering, 11/27/11. Pours a hazy amber color with a medium frothy tan head. Decent head retention. Malty aroma with notes of stone fruits and citrus. The taste is stone fruits, pale malts and a bitter hop finish. Medium bodied.
