Bottle, about 1 year old. Soft mellow malt aroma with honey, stewed peaches and apples, alcohol, and a touch of miso and meat pie! Deep amber color with lace. Big fruit flavor, stewed, with peaches, ginger, orange, alcohol. Like fruit stewed in brandy. Nicely rounded complexity. Tasty though a bit too sweet and boozy.

22 oz. bottle, split with Matts_Property, pours hazy amber with medium beige head. Aroma is quite fruity, with peach, mango, apricot and orange, with floral hops and caramel malt backing. Flavour of caramel, candied sugar, resinous floral hops and a buttery and hoppy finish. Very solid, though no where near Dick's Bottleworks IPA.

Bottle 35,5 cl. Courtesy of scrizzz. Pours a clear amber with a small off-white head. Sweet overripe fruit, yeast and phenols in the nose. Solid body, carbonation is a little low, overripe fruit, brown sugar, yeast and phenols. The heavy alcohol is surprisingly well hidden. Big Belgians just don’t really do it for me anymore. 220611

12 oz bottle into English pint. My bottle reads 6.2% ABV. Pours what seems like black til its held to the light, after which it exposes brown tints, making it look like root beer. Has a small quickly receding beige head. Aroma is bready and like brownies. Taste is mostly sweet with some hop bitterness showing through. Highly carbonated for the style with a milky mouthfeel; full-bodied. A very good porter that deserves better scores on here.

Shipped to me by my wife on a trip to Portland. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a very cloudy golden color with a large foamy yellow-white head that lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was apricot, honey, bread and clove. The flavor was sweet candied apricots and pears with notes of bread, sugar, plum, clove and honey. Rich and full of flavor this one really impressed me. The finish was long, sweet and fruity with bread and alcohol lingering. Thick and full bodied. Wonderful.

Shipped to me by my wife on a trip to Portland. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a bright yellow color with a huge foamy white head that lingered forever and left some lacing. The aroma was faint sweet citrus, bread and pepper. The flavor was faint tart citrus, bread and a bit of table sugar. The finish was short, tangy, citric and a bit bready. Medium body. Ok.

Sent to me by my wife on a trip to Portland. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a medium brown color with a small soapy beige-tan head that faded and left a touch of lacing. The aroma was bitter caramel, fruity hops, nut, cherry, spruce and fruit cake. The flavor was bitter with notes of sour caramel, spruce, vague fruity hops, coffee, toffee, whiskey, apple and fruitcake. Prominent booziness throughout. The finish was long and complex. Thick bodied. Interesting.
