It poured a dark orange/brown and yielding no head whatsoever into my chalice. Mild dark haziness showed throughout the body. No lacing occurred. The smell was sweet through the malts with some light plum coming through as the beer warms. The taste was the same with the previously noted flavors and settled through some odd bitter flavors that I can’t really quite right place. The alcohol came through in the taste as the beer warmed up. The palate was about a medium coating the tongue and mouth decently. No sharpness hits the tongue. I would say this was mildly drinkable. Overall, this is a good beer that I’d come back to.

Pours deep gold into a tulip. Off-white head with little retention recedes leaving no lacing to nothing. Bubblegum aromas. Dry and cloyingly sweet with sour fruit upfront turning to dusty wheat and chardoney in the lasting finish.

Poured from a 22 oz bottle into a snifter. Color is a nice copper tint with small white bubbly head. It left a nice lacing. Aroma is very malty with a wheat undertone. Taste upfront is malt with wheat hiding in the background. Mouthfeel is of medium body with slight carbonation that sizzles on your tongue. However in the finish you defiantly get the 9% ABV. It has a great flavor however the alcohol at the end overpowers the flavors. Would do best to age.

Tasted at the big “SeaBass has got to go” tasting courtesy HonusWagner. Thanks, I appreciate you hanging on to this so I could give it a try. Pours deep copper with gold edges and white head. The aroma is apples, a touch of peach, prunes and a sense of ripe cherries and a touch of heat at the end of the draw. The taste is malty and earthy as well as seaweed Atlantic Ocean like with some sweet rich dark fruity esters intermingling here and there. A few more sips reveals a modest amount of smoke and maybe a sense of peat. Whatever wheat notes there may be they are pretty faint and well hidden.

Bottle @ Seabass going away party, Jan15th ’11. Courtesy of Ibrew2or3. De couleur rougeâtre, beige. Malt et caramel tout en ayant pas mal de grains et des notes de levure allant vers un style un peu allemand. De nombreuses baies donnent à cette bière une approche assez unique tout comme l’usage de houblon Saaz qui rajoute une légère couche citronnée et amer au palais.

22oz bottle pours a clear orange with one ring of white head. Terrible nose, overly sweet, wet malts, booze. Flavor is like rum that had pine needles soaked in it. Pine sol. Really hard finish.
