Belgian-Style Ale Brewed with Spices, Wheat and Oats
Black Orchard is an unfiltered, bottle conditioned Belgian-style black wheat beer. This dark but surprisingly light bodied beer is very drinkable while still having character and complexity. Chamomile is added for its floral aroma, while the coriander and citrus peel give the characteristics of a traditional witbier.

Bottle with ajax25g and gendv138 at Tuscorora Mills, pleasure drinking with you! Exceedingly dark brown color, small tan head. Aroma of very burnt licorice and espresso. Taste is slightly sour and acetic, but also roasty.

75 cl bottle @ O’Hara’s Freehouse. Rated on 09.03.2010
Brown color, looks a bit like cola. Big headAroma is sweetish and stale with spices, some brown sugar and hints of toffee. Flavour is a bit thin with wheat, some licorice and burned sugar. Sour finish. Palate is a bit too high on CO2. Rather typical Belgian dark ale.

Bottle. A dark reddish brown beer, clear, and topped by a big, diminishing, dense, beige head. Citruspeel and orange fruityness with some spices and a whiff of yeast. Oranges, some roasted and cellary notes, and a subtle bitterness towards the end. Full-bodied and nicely carbonated. An unusual one, but nice. 110204

Eher laffer Antrunk mit holzig-röstigen Aromen, würzig aromatisch und leicht säuerlich. Wenig prickeldn, insgesamt eher laff, die vorhandenen Aromen stehen meist disharmonisch zueinander. Wirklich keine Meisterleistung. 12/7/8/9//8

750 ml bottle. Deep amber with a huge tan head. A bit vague aroma of malt, wheat, fruit and spices. Flavor is smooth, light malt, spices, traces of liquorices and moderate bitterness. Very pleasant.

Bleacj wheat beer. Very frothy dark broen cloudy beer. Very dry, light and crisp. Mild wheatiness and super subtle chocolate. Very light spice. Very light everything! Okay but somewhat ephemeral!

Huge dark beige head. Opaque black body goes dark brown at edges. Constant carbonation. Fruity metallic soy sauce aroma with mealy spicy notes. Dry-sweet-acidic earthy roasty mealy taste with soy sauce, apple, and spice notes. Mid-bodied. Mild mouthfeel. Some acidity. Dryish sooty mealy roasty aftertaste with soy sauce, metal, and cardamom notes. A nice, subtly subdued and drinkable, but perhaps not ideal blend of flavours. (0.75l bottle, Kihoskh, Copenhagen.)
