Dark brown coloured body with a thinnish, single centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of cereal, grain, toffee, earth, malt, alcohol and a bit of light fruits. Medium-bodied; Strong toffee and caramel flavours with a bit of grain, some light alcohol notes, but a bit of rye and specialty grains along with some lighter funk from the yeast and residual yeast. Aftertaste shows the grain, alcohol, toffee, earth and especially nutty flavours with no real offsetting flavours - pungent and strong. Overall, a pretty poor beer that doesn’t show much hops, no real complexities, just bitterness and a bit of deep malty notes - more of a scotch ale than anything else. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 22-December-2015 for US$1,61 sampled at home in Washington on 09-October-2016.

Growler thanks to Adam. Pours a clear gold with small white head that diminishes to nothing. The aroma is dough and apple. Thin, crisp, wheat, dough, tart, good.

Fruity nose, refreshing at 6.8 , really well done. Don't usually like the Rye malts.

Growler from Whole Foods. Cloudy dark yellow with citrus aroma and medium body. Nice sour taste from the blood orange, culminating in a pleasant finish.

Sampled on draft this beer poured a toffee color with a large creamy orange-tan head that lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was sweet pine and a bit of spicy rye. The flavor was tangy and sweet pine with undertones of pepper and rye. long finish. Moderately full bodied. Decent.

12 ounce bottle. Copper color topped by a massive foamy beige head. Big toasted malt nose has obvious notes of rye and spicy hops. Bittersweet toasted malt upfront. Resiny hops and rye malt are there as well. Big hop prescence. Well crafted and a must for hop lovers. A very good East Coast IPA.

Belgium comes to West Chester. From yesterday.
