Wow. Just opened a beer I had in the cellar. (Aka basement.) And the difference from that first brew I rated opening day was notable. Much smoother. The ginger has mellowed and the fruit has gotten juicier with peach and apricot really finding it’s place, the Brett edge is less with more a vanilla calmness. Still ginger after but not as edgy. 05-08-2015 Original review: Love it when I get a Bellwoods first. Picked-up minutes ago from the brewery, on this beautiful sunny summer day. Standing in line behind the Block3 guys (try their saison), in town for the OCB conference at GLB. Pours a, more than cloudy, almost murky ice-tea brown, with a white head that disappears fairly quickly. Nose of ginger, green apple funk, and mild cereal malts. Big flavour on this one. Heavy on the ginger, and the sour-apple brett supported by cerial malts, and a general mild fruitiness. The cran and apricot are indistinct in the general mash of flavours. Aftertaste is a lingering brett and ginger. A little intense on the start, but it evens out and is decently drinkable.

Cloudy brown pour, tan head. What you would expect from a unfiltered double. Nice aroma of sweet roasted malts, a little raisin, a touch of booze and bready yeast. Roasted malts, a decent balance in the sweetness and bitter, some dried fruit - plum and raisin, a little touch of yeast. Excellent showing for a dubbel.

Bottle - Molasses, syrupy dark chocolate light coconut. Deep maroon with a decent light brown head. Dark roast, coconut and some bitterness. Not bad, but nothing special.

Tasting at Matt’s
Cloudy golden color. Pungent citrusy aroma, it has a hint of Nelson Sauvin, not just the expected aroma from Citra. Dry mouthfeel, easy malt flavor (we are in Session IPA field), strong bitterness, with some hop resins and some citrus peel.
Nice, but not impressive.
