Crowler from the brewery filled today. A bit of haze in a bright yellow beer that has a tightly bubbled white head that dissipates almost instantly. Rich bready crackery malt on the nose and flavor with bits of floral spice and earthy hops to counter. Extremely clean fermentation profile, damn tasty Largahhh!

Review from notes, Sample at The Microbrew Invitational 6/3/2017 Dark brown soft bubbly tan head. Rich chocolate with hints of earth and light pitted fruit. Smooth clean well made.

Cloudy orange. No head. The smell is outrageous. Banana Esther, smooth and sweet with citrus and wheat. Delicious. Flavorful. Love the banana presence. Has a euro hop bitterness finish.

Dark brown. Lots of clarity. Pretty much no aroma. Smoked finish. More like an amber beer with pineapple and ginger root and honey.

Nitro at Canary Square, 5/11/17.
Dark mahogany with milk chocolate hues. Opaque and with a typical nitro head that is dark beige and showing strong retention.
Deep roast shows bitter cocoa, some ash and quite a bit of molasses/treacle character. Buttercream-like notes from the base malts do soften things but it still remains quite intense with tons of ash and vinous qualities. Clean and with no alcohol breaking through.
Ashy roast notes collect on the edges of the palate as light milk chocolate character is produced by the dark and base malts combining. Typical watery-soft-slick nitro texture with some vegetal notes, prune and molasses on the finish that are all done to-style. No citrusy hops here is a big plus and the alcohol somehow doesnt manage to cut through the nitro-weakened texture. Pretty nice baltic porter though of course I hate everything nitrogen does to a beer. I have had this one on draught before and it was still rich, burnt and vinous.

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a semi-dark amber close to brown sort of color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that fell off at a moderate pace. Slight lace.
The aroma had some rum, fruity sweet woodiness, light honey, some vanilla, freshly cut grass, some clove, light lemon and ended with some dark bread.
The flavor was moderately sweet and dry with some of the rum and dark bread taking precedence. Super light on the spicy clove. The aftertaste was a somewhat rum, sweet wood and dark bread. Finish was mainly the rum and sweet wood.
The palate was semi-dry with a touch of the woody sweet booziness coming along to apply just a touch of acceptable \"heat\" to play with the body which was about medium. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt fine.
Overall, pretty nice Belgian strong dark ale.

Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a ruddy amber color with a finger’s worth of foamy white head. Slightly dissipated to leave some messy lace.
The aroma had some tart green apples, raisins, vinous mustiness, dark bread, black cherries, funk/basement, some acidity, mulch, leather, dried leaves and butterscotch.
The flavor was semi-sweet and added a little bit of bubblegum with some grassiness. Some acidity. All seemed to blend together to lead into the aftertaste and ride on into the finish.
The palate was about medium bodied perhaps just a touch under and having a good carbonation about it. ABV felt as projected. Mild acidic harshness, but wasn’t distracting.
Overall, nice take on one of those Flemish styled \"oud bruins\" and by an American brewer nonetheless. I’d have this again.
