The Sampler, Brooklyn tap: Pours a very hazy, almost whitish golden with a white head. Aroma is slight funk with fruitiness and strange grains. I don’t really know what spelt is supposed to be about, but this comes off as a nice saison with small amounts of funk, but a hefty amount of fruitiness, with just a bit of spice.

On draught at Blind Tiger. Brownish-black color with a thin tan head that diminishes gradually. Small patches of lacing on the glass. Aroma of roasted malt and dark chocolate. Medium to full body with flavors of espresso, roast malt and sweet chocolate. The finish is roasty with a chocolate malt aftertaste. Above average overall.

The Sampler, Brooklyn tap: Pours black with a beige head. Aroma is a whole lot of chocolate, lightly roasted coffee, and some roasty maltiness. Taste is sweet and chocolatey for the most part. Body is nice and smooth. Very easy to drink considering the high abv.

Wine glass at Astoria Bier & Cheese. Complimentary beernuts!
Soft, white, flaky head. Patchy lace. Orange, thick, honey-ish appearance.
Smell is drier then expected. Leafy. Candle wax. Florals. Faint citrus. Fresh.
Taste is wheaty & floral, with a nice bittersweet rind. Mellow lime note. Cooked honey sweetness. Clovey, yeasty finish.
Dusty, calcified, witbier-like texture. Soft carbonation, would of liked more. Warming.
Better then my review made it sound. Drinks like a wit. Not as awesome as Dupont’s Biere de Miel, but pretty solid for some gypsies. :)

The Sampler, Brooklyn tap: Had this on the official release party. Anyway, it pours a reddish, clear colour with a white head. Aroma is yeasty, fruity, with some light rye notes. Taste is slightly sweet, with nice little hop notes. The finish was a little meh on my first sips, but really nothing bad about it. Bubbly and easy to drink.
