11.2 ounce bottle. Pours a hazy dark orange color with a frothy large white head. The aroma is very bready and yeasty along with notes of citrus, pineapple and clove. Taste is citrus, bread, yeast, bubblegum and a spicy finish. Fairly tart and otherwise a fairly traditional witbier. Medium bodied.

dark and dense brown with a massive head that settles quickly to thin bubbles with whitewash lacing. Aroma has raisins, dates and lots of esthers and ketones, smells like a chemistry lab experiment. Taste starts off with sweet dark fruit and chocolate, then acidity creeps in, then intense smokiness. Nicely complex and interesting. Not quite chewy, but substantial body. Not sure I can deal with the aroma, maybe it will grow on me. Maybe laying it down for a year will help. For nor, it’s decent enough to give it a try.

33cl bottle pours slightly hazy with an amber body and copper hues holding up a lasting off white to tan head. The aroma carries a nice wedge of oak followed by apples, pears and apricots. Additional pulls bring up brighter fresher oak notes and a background of booze heat and whiskey. The taste begins with pears and apricot followed closely by sweet ripe Granny Smith apples. As midway approaches I pick up the Belgian yeasty spice building to a level to be heard over the fruitiness and then modest oak. Toward the finish it dries out only a tad as the whiskey makes a meek appearance to help round out the fruitiness, spices and touch of oak. Very nice and full of yum!

Bottle. Brown color. Tiny floaties . Malt, caramel, raisin, chocolate and a hint of ash in the aroma. Ashy, caramelly sweet flavor with roast and chocolate. Rhum. Hints of upcoming tartness. Just a touch of alcohol. Not bad, but not flawless.

Bottle 11.2oz pours out a cloudy dark amber topped with a tan foam that was miles high. When I popped the cap this thing started to foam. Aroma tons of pit fruit and spices. Taste pretty upfront on the abv. a little sweetness to help calm some of the spice. A pass for me.

The "vegetable" is pumpkin, by the way, which I thought was a fruit, but I could be wrong. Appearance was glow-in-the-dark orange with no head. Smell was like a glass of orange juice, maybe some othe fruits in the background. Taste had light spice, fair amount of malt with lots of acidity, and a very sour finish. Overall, interesting. Pumpkin was, thankfully, not too obvious.
