Just added this one, so I'll be the first to rate it as well.
Location: On tap at the Alpharetta Brewbup, 2/15/10
Overall Impression: This beer was really good! My favorite of the beers I tried on the trip to 5 Seasons North this evening. Pours a dark brown color into a snifter. A wonderful Belgian yeasty nose, some spice, a great mouthfeel, and a really nice flavor. A wonderful beer.

Location: On tap at the Alpharetta Brewbup, 2/15/10
Overall Impression: A very nice, hazy, dark orange/caramel colored IPA with a lot of hops on the nose and in the taste. This was a pretty nice beer for sure. Big hop brew. Pine and citrus. Sticky and nice.

Purplish-brown. Hazy. No so much head. The aroma is heady - with grapes and prunes and other dark, fruity things. Rich, chewy piloncillo sugars, dark fruits, a touch of yeast and a touch of oxidation that tells me it’s starting to get long in the tooth. A rounded, though slightly hot, barley wine.

Golden-amber with no head. Weird aroma - plums, diacetyl, peach and booziness. A little slick, oily body. It’s boozy first on the palate, with light caramel, some tree fruits. But remains too slick on the palate...needs more carbonation, maybe more hop too.

Golden amber. No head. Pumpkin nose with nice spiciness. Smooth body. Good balance. Fresh cinnamon, clove and a nice gourd character.
