Draft @ BCTC, Ommegang Brewery. August, 8, 2015. Aroma is mostly Belgian yeast with traces of honey and hay.
Flavor shows the honey grain base with a solid yeast character, maybe some light herbal hints in the backside. Smooth carbonation level. Everything about it is subtle. Pretty standard but rather easy to drink.

Can. A hazy, dark golden beer with a small, dense, off-white head. Some lacings. The aroma is rather boozy, with piney, resiny hops and grapefruit. Maltyness in the back. It’s full-bodied yet feeling thin, with a pleasant carbonation level. Pine cones, resins, some pale malts and booze in the flavor, a good bitterness too, lasting for a good while. Too heavy on the booze this one, but there’s some good aromas and flavors anyway. 150606

Can. A clear, dark amber to brown body forms under a small, dense, off-white head. The aroma is lightly wort-like, with toffee, nuts, some dark chocolate and a faint touch of coffee grit. It’s roasted and full-bodied, semi-dry and with a pleasant carbonation level. Toffee, nuts, some chocolate and coffee too, lasting for a good while..A bit boring this one I think, but it drinks easily and is flawless. 150606

Draught at Sweet Grass Grill, 12/27/15
Looks a lot like the pint pictured. Especially the haziness and lack of head.
It was interesting to try this after having the Shuggie Soulbender, since they are both NSauvin-hopped IPAs around the same abv and from the same region.
This one fared much worse, however, having far less aromatics and being bogged down in the flavor by too much bitterness and some sugary, underfermented malt notes. Had to choke down the last third of the beer, as it’s just too unbalanced and quite monotonous in the flavor; lime zest, bitter orange and apple-like bittersweetness.

Can sample at a tasting at troubles’s place. Thanks Tom L. Clear deep golden. Aroma of citric and piney hops, slightly stale, a bit of marmalade, and an alcohol hint. Sweetish flavor with malt, some caramel, piney hops, slightly stale, and a bitterish finish with a bit of alcohol. Medium-bodied.

Crisp dark brown coloured body with an almost perfect, three centimetre tall tan head that shows nicely. Aroma of nuts, earth, caramel, brown sugar and a touch of light funky yeast - nice. Medium-bodied; Assertive nutty flavour with some walnuts and cashews noticeable and an almost fruity finish with a pleasant sweetness. Aftertaste shows a little depth from the caramel and a lot of nuts with only a touch of yeastiness and funk at the tail end. Overall, a decent nut brown and perhaps one of the better and most complex ones i’ve had in a while, but that still unfortunately doesn’t make this a beer worth searching out to find. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from New Beer Distributors in New York, New York on 08-November-2014 for US$2,25 sampled at home in Washington on 15-March-2015.
