A hazy dark yellow beer with a light brown head. The aroma is sweet with sharp spicy and citric notes. The flavor is sweet and very spicy.

2005? Bottle at American Flatbread with Muzzlehatch. Popping the cork yields an odd hops aroma of dill pickles. Not heavy on the vinegar or pickle so much as it is heavy on the dill. Fades to a lighter (but still strong) wet cut grass, light cumin and slight rotting grassiness. Like a mix of Styrian Goldings and Northern Brewer. Deep amber body with a white head, large and creamy, mostly dissipating. Hints of grapefruit rind, notes of sawdust. Flavor is Belgian yeast, pils malt and bitter hops. It has some funk to it, but just gets drowned out in the thick honey-cream malt and sharply bitter hops. Bitter and sweet fight for dominance and in the end, it’s just too much of both for me. Though to be fair, it still seems well-made and perhaps is just having problems with being very young. Not the distinct, but yet refined perfuminess of the DeRankeXX and way too heavy handed on the malt sweetness.

Bottled. Nearly black. Roasty chestnut aroma. Sweetish with lengthy nutty malt flavour. Low hop rate. Salty, woody finish. One of these French ales that balances thed edge between porter and belgian ale.

Bottled. Deep amber with rich, lively, fine firm head. Odd aroma - old hay, and... cow! It smells like cow! Roasty, caramel malt, sweet and light bodied. Yeasty and very lively. Discretely flavourful.
