copper/orange, tan head. yeasty nose, dark caramel malts, dark fruits, citrus / grapefruit and floral hops.. Palate keeps a nice roasted, light caramel presence with a prefect bitter hoppy finish that ends with a warming abv. resinous palate with tangy lingering citrus/floral hops.

Nice Belgian-style strong ale. There’s some booze in the nose and it’s a bit simply sweet, but otherwise, this is a very good beer and easy to drink, relative to the abv. It’s a bright, transparent light golden color with a relatively small white cap. The aroma is honey, raisins, band-aids, cough syrup, earth, caramel, sugar cane and herbal hops. The flavor is pleasingly sweet; lots of honeyed malt comes through. It finishes a little weak without any real punctuation of flavor, merely drifting off into diminishing sweetness. The mouthfeel is good, though not really noteworthy. It’s a good beer, though not really a huge loss if the new ownership at Valley Brew chooses to discontinue it (unlike some of Steve Altimari’s incredible beers).
