Dull, hazy orange; yellow-tinted large head, collapsing. Cooked carrots, vanilla, parsley and caramel in the nose. Bitter-woody taste, pine flavour intertwined, overlying very malty basic beer. Fruity impressions, and some flowery hops. Medium to well-bodied. Some creamy feeling from the yeast, some burning. Not bad at all. Nothing truly outstanding, but a pleasing beer. Lost a point on the yeast being a bit too omnipresent.

Thanks to fattyre for bringing this to the Georgia 14% gathering! There’s a large, light Mocha colored head on this beer that sits on a dark amber colored base. Light malt aroma and the aroma and flavor of old apples. Tha palate is oily and alcoholic with a slightly sour finish. No chocolate anywhere.

Dark brown color; thin opersistent head. Nice caramel aroma and flavor, round body, sweet, full mouthfeel, a footprint of belgian yeast at the end, maybe not too bitter. Very good.
2004-07-03, bottled 2000; 4 years old, 8-4-9-5-17=43
Dark amber color; poor head. Strong malty aroma, a bit fruity. Very good mouthfeel, full malty, sweet, very well balanced by the hopping; caramel, fruitness, nuts, spices (cinnamon, ginger, aniseed). Ends with a good hopping, some liquorice and spices…
Excellent!
