Bottle. Pours a hazy golden color with a nice, thick white head. Aroma is sweet, citrus, spices, bread, floral to the max. Flavor is clove, coriander, yeasty bread, wheat, malts, and overall goodness. As the beer is consumed, there is quite a bit of lacing. Pretty refreshing at 5.7 percent.

Bottle from Paiste2002, thanks! Blonde, hazy. Citrusaroma, wheaty, with some flowery and lavender notes. Citrusflavor, thinnish with honey, wheat and lavender, more outspoken as in the aroma. Pleasant, but a bit too perfumed for me.

Draught. Poured black with thin head. Aroma of chamomile and citrus, like a cup of herb tea. Medium body and flavour, wheatiness, citrus and that Belgian yeastiness. Unpleasant tealike finish.

Bottle: Poured a deep hazy brown color ale with a quite large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of funky yeast with some fruity ester and some great Belgian malt also noticeable. Taste is a very well balanced mix between some floral malt with notes of funky yeast ester and a great malt backbone. The spices are well integrated in the mix and don’t play such a prominent role. Body is quite full with great carbonation. Very well done and definitely underrated from this fine brewer.

Pours deep amber into a tulip. Fluffy white head with medium retention leaves no lacing as it recedes to coat surface. Alcohol, bread and caramel aromas. Thick and spritzy with almonds and caramel upfront. Lasting sweet rice finish. Packs a punch.

Big thanks to MrChopin for bringing this to the Pittsburgh RB tasting extravaganza 8/2009. Slighly hazy. Pale yellow. Strong alky impressions but has an interesting fruitiness about the olfactory. No carbonation detectable. Medicinal odd cough medicine. Sweet and tart at times lurking in the background, adds to the uniqueness of this brew. Alky lingering finish. Thanks kevin for letting me taste this even tho I am not good enough for it.

Another big thanks to tpd975 for bringing this tasty brew to the tasting. It pours murky copper – brown with thin tan head. The aroma is full of dates, prunes, minced sweet cherries and a bit of heat at the end of the draw. The taste is smooth rich yummy goodness with a sweet mix of caramel, dates, prunes, sweet rip plums and figs. Wow! Rich creamy and sweet. It finishes smooth and with a sense of the big ole ABV. It is on the sweet side but it is so darn good I didn’t really notice.

On tap. Slightly hazy pale amber with a creamy white head. Tart fruity aroma. Light body, light berry-like fruitiness and a distinct and fresh tartness. No bitterness. Yup, very vinous. 130709

Bottle: Poured a hazy bright beige color ale with a medium foamy head with good retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of dry European hops with some light fruity ester. Taste is also dominated by some dry hops with a typical Belgian malt bill and some very subtle fruity ester. Body is quite full with good carbonation and no alcohol is apparent. Not too bad but additional complexity through ester or even more hops would have benefited this one.

750ml bottle courtesy of CaptainCougar at the DC Local Gathering. Brown-amber color. Very minimal to no carbonation. Syrupy thick, rather brutal. Lots of fruity alcohol malt taste. Not unlike some quality Liqueur..maybe GM? Bourbony thickness. Pretty nice for a liqueur-like beer.
