Can from Tavour Rich copper color with great clarity and a thin tan head that dissipates quickly. Heavy clove light pepper on the nose with bits of dark dried fruit and faint brown sugar. More spicy than fruity in fact its a bit too spicy in my opinion with bits of alcohol warming/burning at the end. Decent Sipper.

12oz can. Unfiltered amber-burgundy body. Pretty clean and drinkable, perhaps a pinch of amber malt? Not unlike Ommegang Abbey. Respectable enough offering.

12oz can. Pours ruby brown. Off white, long lasting but small head. It’s a rather decent stab at the style. Misses the usual pitfalls, no strong esters or sweetness. It does have dark Belgian candy sweetness and a bit syrupy. But a medium light body. A raisin biscuit flavor. Short and light finish. Kodos to Martin City.

Goblet glass draft at Martin City Pizza and Tap in Kansas City, Missouri. The pour is a hazed brown with not too much of a light tan head. The aroma is soft clove, dried fruit, floral and a touch of apple fruit in the back. I nice soft roast is evident as the beer warms. The taste is the sweet apple, dried fruit, the turning to the Belgian yeast and clove. The roast is present, though underneath the sweet and yeast notes. The palate is medium bodied with soft to low carbonation and a residual sweet clove finish. Solid, nice for a style I am not normally too wild about.
