Notes from July 2009 Bottles courtesy of Chris, aka The Big Sneeze. :) Poured into this year's Ommegang anniversary glass. Big head. Tan, marshmallow-y, & slow to recede. It really lingers. Body is a dark ruby brown. Smell is light on caramel & creamer. Touch of chocolate. A full showing of earthy & mildly rindy hops follow right behind. Taste is an earthy brown with light citrus & floral notes. Toasty & minerally. The hops pepper more then add straight bitters to the beer. Big earthy soil character, with just enough caramel. Barely a rindy linger. Carbonation is small & sturdy. Feel is dirty, but smooth alcohol & a decent balance make it work. :)

Sit Ubu, sit. A 12 oz can obtained from my connection to the nice people at Halftime. My tastings started with a chilled mug this evening, no motivation to change. It appears as a cola-colored liquid finished by a parchment tan head of quite fine foam. I smell earth and wood and something roasty, what is going on here? I lift for a drink, plums, grain, cereal, again some woodiness, malt and a bit of raisin sweetness. Okay but certainly one and done.
