Clear dark brown pour with a medium foamy beige head that evaporates steadily to a film. Small patches of lacing on the glass. Aroma of roasty malt and caramel. Light-bodied with a sweet character and notes of malt, toffee and Trix cereal. The finish is short and malty with a somewhat cloying sweetness left behind. Just average overall.

Bottle. Nose of chocolate, fruit, Belgian yeast character, a touch of oxidation. Very sweet and fruity, berries, chocolate, wood in the finish. Nice but a bit too sweet. I would have guessed it was a Belgian Dubbel if it was blind.

On tap at Bottleworks, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma of dark chocolate, roasted malt and a little espresso. Flavour of dark chocolate upfront, roasted malt and espresso. Pretty standard but very well-made.

Bottle at Sander’s place, NYC. Pours clear brown with a creamy, off-white head. Dry toasty malt aroma with hints of dark sugar and earth. Medium sweet flavor, toast, mild caramel, some leaves, some Belgian candi. Medium bodied with lively carbonation. Sweet finish, lightly dry, toasty caramel malts, candi sugar, faint earthy bitterness. Decent brew.

12oz bottle. Stained-glass amber-red, with a thin, patchy beige head. This is quite a great beer, big caramel tones, but even bigger steady piny hop tones. There is also some alcohol warmth, some vanilla tinged fruity amber malt, and some burnt coffee tones. Quality ingredients and excellent execution. This beer makes me want to move to the Northwest. Excellent.
