750mL capped bottle poured into a Lost Abbey glass. The smallest head forms atop a black body. Huge unsweet cocoa with bitter malts compose the well attenuated clean aroma. Unsugary sweet malty dry fumey flavor. Nice simple impy stout but a bit bland.

This brew pours jet black with a medium frothy light beige head that dissipates steadily to a wispy film. Strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of dark chocolate, fruit and malt. Medium to full body (thinner than the 10.6% ABV would indicate) with a roasty character and flavors of dark malts, chocolate, coffee and earthy yeast. The finish is moderately bitter with a charred malt and chocolate aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

A hazed dark brown saison with no head. In aroma, smooth fruity chocolate malt with light perfumy coffee. In mouth, a sweet fruity chocolate malt with berries, light corky notes, tart, not bad. On tap at End of Everything beer fest Dec 22 2013.

Tap at Lockdown, served in a tulip. Dark amber brown in color. Aroma is light Belgian caramel, not sweet but strong with Belgian candy. Its totally Belgian in character with subdued esters and sweetness. Very Dubbel-esque smelling. Flavor has an airy Belgian yeast character with some bitter malt counteracting the well subdued Belgian candy. Sweet, lightly earthy toasty, and light caramel. Has a nice bitter finish. Easy to quaf, definitely not a saison but more of a light Dubbel. The earthy caramel flavors leave me wanting a thicker mouthfeel and reduced carbonation, which is a bit too prickly.

Draft at Monk’s Pub. Puffy Belgian head. Body is a quite cloudy gold. English IPA smell, rather low-key against its warm maltiness. First taste shows its creamy texture, like it might have come from nitro. Low level of carbonation. Hop bitterness is up front, but still not too strong. As I go further down, though, the hops pick up speed. Some yeast taste too, especially toward the finish.

Draft pour on tap at Goose Island’s Belgian Fest 2013. This was the first beer I got because I was very interested in this new brewery. Pour is very hazy pale golden color with a small but long lasting head. Has a sticky lacing. Too hazy to see through. Aroma is bright clean esters with sharp apple and pear. Some uncitric lemon as well. Nice combo of yeast esters and a but of fruity hops coming though. Flavor has a bit more biscuit malt coming though with more clean esters. A mineral flavor finishes off to balance things out. Fuller mouthfeel with a good carbonation. Real nice stuff.
