Subtle hints of coffee, vanilla, Belgian triple notes. Well crafted brew.

Aromas are malt, sour cherries, raisins and roast. Flavors are similar to nose. Bitter, sweet, tart with a touch metallic. On the thin side. Not bad but kind of a let down. Maybe there's some smoke in there somewhere. From the back of the fridge.

Orange with a huge fluffy head head that lingered. Bitter and tangy with brewed coffee, yeast and faint fruit. Long finish. Moderately full bodied.

750 ml corked and caged bottle. Nearly opaque dark brown pour. Creamy light tan cap. Sweet roasted malt aroma hints at maple syrup. Flavor is sweet and earthy with notes of treacle, maple syrup, licorice and dark dried fruits. A bit of cocoa on the backend as well. Remarkably smooth on the palate.
