Bottle from trade with CLW--thanks, Chris! Clear copper-gold with light viscosity and sparkle, thin, fizzy, ephemeral head and no lacing. Aroma is Belgian yeast, apple esters, mild butterscotch. Taste resembles aroma. Smooth, thick texture, medium bodied, soft carbonation and crisp finish as taste, faintest of alcohol warming. Pretty but aroma and taste are not very assertive. Decent palate. Meh.

1 pint 9 oz bottle from the brewery, 1/12/24. Pours a dark brown-black color with a small brown head that dissipates quickly down to nothing. The aroma is dark chocolate, light roasted coffee, and earth, caramel, and light pepper. Drinks smooth and very creamy. Flavorful and drinkable. Sweet, but not overly sweet. Both the pepper and the alcohol heat are fairly muted (more so than I would have expected). This is quite good.

Draft at Readington, 10/9/23. Served in a ridiculous chalice, which definitely adds to the experience somehow. Hazy orange, Belgian yeast, spice, grains. Orange and wheat. Clean and refreshing.
