Bottle. Hazy golden yellow color, big white head that settles quickly. Aroma has peach, citrus. Taste is funky, fruity, very lightly tart. Very nice.

Location: 22 oz bottle from Buy Rite, 3/21/15

Aroma: Definitely brandy note to the aroma to go along with the sweet dark malts
Appearance: It pours a murky looking brown-black with a thin ring of head and almost no lace
Flavor: The taste is rather sweet, brandy, oak, vanilla, caramel, dark fruit, and a light bitterness
Palate: The body is lighter than you'd expect, soft carbonation, noticeable boozy heat
Overall Impression: Since it decided to snow in "spring" I guess it's pretty apropos to drink this beer for a cold winter night tonight. Definitely has an interesting brandy flavor to it. I'm torn. There's good stuff here and mediocre stuff here.

Brewers plate

Bottle. Pours black tan head. Nose/taste of caramel, grape, oak, apple brandy, milk chocolate and vanilla extract. Lighter bodied. Tastes kind of like a chocolate infused lower end apple brandy.

Winter Beer Fest, Philly: Pours copper with a white head. Aroma is a lot of pomegranate. Taste is much the same at the front, then it goes down to a bready mineral finish at the end. Refreshing.

Location: 22 oz bottle from Buy Rite, 9/5/14

Aroma: The nose is sweet and fruity, pomegranate is dominate and the fruitiness is candy-like
Appearance: It pours a mostly clear orange color with a thin head and some light, drippy lacework
Flavor: The flavor is also sweet, but it sort of works, a hint of wheat, and no semblance of hops
Palate: The body is light and a little thin, clean enough, with a lively carbonation
Overall Impression: I liked this one more than I expected. It is very sweet and the aroma is straight up candied fruit, but it still somehow isn't too bad. It doesn't make sense, it isn't my type of thing at all, but I still sort of enjoyed it...
