(bottle) clear amber colour, no ead; sweet aroma - hard candy, fruit compote; flavour is tart - like dry fruit beer - this is certainly not anything like belgian blonde ale, but good in its own right

Bottle. Deep opaque brown body, thin discontinuous beige head. Dry roasty, grainy nose with notes of coffee. Soft body with bitter roast, coffee, grain, and some semi-sweet caramel notes. Dry but rich, finishing with light woody acidity. A tasty, well-made dry stout.

12 oz bottle. A vigorous pour elicits only a small head on this hazy golden amber beer. Aroma is spicy, cloves, banana, a little floral aroma. Flavor is spicy again with cloves, bread, herbal and floral flavors, and a kind of cotton candy note. A little thin, but not bad.

12oz bottle pours murky deep peach like copper with thin off white head. The aroma offers up cherry and prune sweet dark fruity esters as well as floral hops, some citrus and a light amount of roasted malts. The aroma comes off kind of odd as the floral seems to be fighting against the other notes. It just doesn’t come together. The taste is a bit thin with a mix of firm floral hops, spicy hops and grapefruit hops filling up the flavor before notes of cherry, prune and caramelized peach murmur their way to the surface. By midway and to the finish roasted malts help dry this out along with hop bitterness. Like the aroma the flavor seems a bit disjointed and doesn’t really come together for me.

Pitch black coloured body with a very thin cream coloured head that fades very fast. Aroma of coffee, dry roasted malt, cream, milk and a touch of peat - nice smell. Medium-bodied; Pungent roasted malt with a lot of cream and milk soon afterwards. Aftertaste shows a little coffee, a lot of roasty flavours and good sweetness as the balance. Overall, a good dry stout, definitely nothing amazing, but well balanced and a crisp beer - as intended. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Merchant’s in Dearborn, Michigan on 16-January-2011 for US$1.89 sampled at home in Washington on 25-January-2011.

On tap at the brewpub. Poured a hazy gold with a white head that dissipated quickly to the edges. Aroma was a combination of citrus and grapefruit with backing light fruits and a sweet grains. Flavor was similar, but the grapefruit took a much more dominate role. The pine, citrus and light fruit became backing note.
