A 16 oz can delivered by Half Time a few months ago, the time to sample is now. Flip the tab before tilting into a globe glass. I determine a dark cola brown body followed by a thin rim of off-white bubbles. The smell is very ripe, dark fruit and baked bread. The taste I get is yellow plums, black plums, grain, malt, bubble gum, cough syrup and sorghum. A different approach at a Belgian dark ale but I can appreciate. Slightly sweet, a bit sour, some funk. Not bad, not great.

5oz pour at TOF, aka, The Owl Farm, pours a clear, dark gold with some sudsy white head. Mosaic jumps out of the glass, grassy, creamy almost, some candy and pale grist, some potpourri. El Dorado comes in the flavor, lemony, the Mosaic still shining with green grass, some melon and tropical now, a little candy. The Belgian base arrives with a peppery back end. Nicely made and nicely balanced.
