Brown orange yellow 134. Rocky head. Crisp beer aroma. Good metallic carbonation on the p[alate. Sharp bitter flavors but not in the hoppy way, more like deep malt er sumthin. Long bitter medicine finish, wew. Overall not as spicey or veggie as I would have suspected.

for a light colored beer, this stuff sure smells chocolatey! slightly darker than a pale lager and a little on the hay colored side. Nice and smooth and rather malty, just like the aroma. Not a whole lotta bitterness but just enough to let you know its beer. Friendly, for the most part and seems to be more refined than many of the american english pale ales I’ve tasted. Overall, a decent beer and its rather well behaved. Finish is malty beer that is not over the top nor excessive, OK beer experience. Rates right up there with other EPA I find interesting such as Paper City Holyoke Dam Ale, Gearys Pale, Arcadia Anglers Ale & Odell 5 Barrel Pale Ale

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy orange-amber color with a medium sized orange-beige head. The aroma was faint fruity, spicy and floral hops. The flavor was dryish and peppery with a tart fruity hop presence that was slightly rough. The finish was medium length tart, fruity and peppery hops. Medium body. Ok.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark orange-amber color with a medium sized beige head. The aroma was sugar, pear and peach with a yeasty undertone. The flavor was sugary with notes of pear and peach and a tangy, yeasty undertone. There was an odd off flavor underneath that pervaded and detracted - almost like cherry pits. The finish was long, tangy and fruity. Fairly full bodied. Alcohol well hidden. Odd but some nice elements.

Big black pour with a creamy very thin head. Slight roasty aroma. A very tasty stout initially, all the desired dark beer flavors. Good crisp carbonation for a dry baby. Comes across more alky than 5.5%. Oh yes, quite burnt and bitter at times but certainly not over the top. Above average fer sure. Notsure if I really taste any peat in there or not, just a bad ass stout without going impy on ya. This is new around here and was glad to have had the chance to taste it. Got it at 3 sons. Yep, the peat is not real apparent, just seems real stouty.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured an orange-amber color with a medium sized soapy beige head that produced great lacing. The aroma was sweetish and malty with light fruity hops - a bit mild but pleasant. The flavor was nutty with notes of caramel, biscuit and fruity hops. Medium length finish with notes of caramel and fruit lingering. Medium body. Pleasant.

OK, so how can anybody pass up a chance at tasting a beer named like like this? heheh Pour is looking a tad thick. Lots of gunk on the bottom of the bottle. Nice sparkling carbonation visible in this belgian ale looken kinda thing. Smell at first was alarmingly sweet but it settles down on the olfactory once it hits the glass. Quite nice feel of sizzle greets the palate on the first swig. Tries to come across like an orval but then it morphs into something more alky. Yes, each slug is that metamorphis. Strong healthy personality. oooooo, baby Does seem to have alll that alky in there fer sure, 7+%. Nope, not nearly refined as the real beldjy stuff. However, I have not tasted an imperial orval yet, perhaps this is it. Medium length medicinal finish, too much for this lager lover.

12oz bottle. Ruby red-brown color, translucent, with what looks to be some substantial floaties. Sweet sugary aroma hints at a substantial ABV. Smooth on the palate in a subdued brown sugar way. Minimal, pleasant bitterness balances it out. Creamy, interesting Belgian yeast strain..reminds me slightly of Bierre de Corsaire, one of my favorites. Quite good.
