Bottle. Cinnamon/pepper and malt aroma. Amber color with small head. Sweet light brown sugar, cinnamon and malt flavor. Balance is off. Too much spice and not enough malt.

A hazed blonde lambic with a thin white head. In aroma, classic epsom salts, sour cherries, light acetic points. In mouth, a nice salty epsom salt with fruity acidity, nice and smooth, light horseblanket. Tasted with the Bartowel crew at Pushkinwow’s, March 23, 2012.

Bottle @ AA-Meeting, Western Denmark 2012. Pours hazy dark golden with a white head and lacings. Manuer and brett. A bit of funk. Quite some grapes. Refreshing and pleasantly acidic. Quenching.

12 ounce bottle. Pours a deep amber hue with a medium white head. The aroma is sweet caramel and spices. The flavor is a nice spicy cake flavor with caramel, toffee, loads of spices, pumpkin pie, easygoing. I like this beer, it really puts you into a Thanksgiving-Christmas mode. Easy to drink and not over the top in any aspect.

looks like iced tea, head fades rapidly. smells like metallic beer with spices. nice rolling co2 in the glass. cinnamon fer sure and the mosaases makes it acceptable. co2 is present but not sizzling. i don’t like cinnamon beers per se but the molasses adds a unique flavor that blends well. bold it is, but it doesn’t seem to have much alky kick to it. finish is low alky molasses and spices.

Bottle as shown. Pours a cloudy amber woth small tan head leaving spotty lacing. The aroma is a raisin malt and caramel. Medium mouthfeel with a spiced malt with nutmeg and cinnamon. A decent spice brew from Rivertown.

Sampled at the DC Local Tasting pours a basically opaque, grapefruit pulp yellow with some wispy white head. Nose is nice, perfume, hay, light funk. Flavor is nice, lemons, funk, a little band aid. Medium bodied, tart finish. Tastes like watered down Cantillon.

Bottle. Deep brown body with garnet highlights. Fizzy, tan head, mostly diminishing. Aroma of roasted malts, ash, coffee with a hint of chocolate. The flavor is lightly to moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly sweet, lightly bitter and lightly to moderately tart, a tartness that is out of place. Light to medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Too thin in the mouthfeel, but far worse is the cherry tartness that tastes like the beer is slightly infected. Pretty much overshadows everything else, except the aroma. Drain pour.
