On tap in a shaker. Very little aroma. Bland appearance and flavor. Flat palate. Light bitter finish.

25 oz bottle-pours a brown head with dark brown color. Aroma is coffee, dark malt and slight estringent. Taste starts OK then turns sour like a lambic porter. Oops, a bad bottle got out. Will rerate this with another bottle hopefully.

[Winter Vintage] First of all, it is really friggin’ lame to repackage your summer beer as a winter beer - that said, this is an interesting lager - cloudy golden pour, with a bready, almost tart aroma - a tiny bit sour, which makes it interesting, complimenting the light, lemony character - nice hop bite at the end - not too bad.

Hazy dirty amber brown ale with a thin off-white head. Woody cask aroma, with light strawberries, sour lactic acids. In mouth, a flemish sour with strawberries that is missing the mark. Not bad but rather strange. Maybe Schoune made it.

Medium copper pour with respectable, lasting head - aroma of christmas cookie dough (bready malt, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger) - kind of light bodied for a winter warmer, but that isn’t exactly bad - gentle sweetness, and a subtle ginger, clove and cinnamon presence - a little spicy kick at the end - not bad.

Murky amber in color, with minimal carbonation - aroma quite like an english barleywine (plum, fig, port) with prominent bourbon, strawberry and oak mixed in - kind of tart throughout, with a very heavy woodiness that almost overpowers the rest of the beer - slightly acidic, with very apparent alcohol - tastes kind of like a watered down barleywine with dominant bourbon in the finish - as others have noted, I’m not sure blending in their pale ale was such a good idea - I generally find Cisco beers underrated, but not in this case.

25 oz bottle-pours a foamy, four finger+ reducing to rocky with patches clinging to the side of the glass white head. Color is hazy yellow. Aroma is floral, fruity. Taste is spices, hoppy, grapefruit, sweet creamy, vanilla. Good carbonation.

2005 bottle sampled at EBF ’06. Bright strawberry-auburn colored body, very ruddy, with a fair smattering of deep beige-yellow head, quite bubbly and well-retained, lacing prominently as well. The age of the beer thankfully provides relief from the usual mountains of head on Cisco’s beers, but it’s still quite frothy. The nose shows spoiled raspberries and tart strawberries, with a light corn and vanilla scent. Husky, dried hay-like grain notes, a touch of light chocolate and then a muddled note of light coconut from the bourbon. I can definitely see what Probiere means with raw tomato/fresh salsa as it has just a strange, thick yeast, corn and vegetal note and a very unfocused, fruit aroma. You could make a comparison to a watered down version of a bloody mary! The flavor really brings forth the thick yeast, more milled corn grainiess, old vanilla notes, doughy, papery bland dryness, astringent wood notes and perhaps even some glue. The strawberries just add an out of place vegetal quality, with a drying wood, bland yeast, and light acidity all coming together to create something that was best left for the dump bucket. Was not able to drink more than a few sips. Alcohol was under control however. Body was not watery, and had a strong carbonation, texture was fairly lean, but with too much chewy yeast.

25 oz bottle ink stamped on bottom 174 19:44 1122-pours a foamy, four finger+ reducing to rocky with patches clinging to the side of the glass offwhite head. Color is hazy yellow with effervescence. Aroma is musty, grain. Taste is sweet, fruity, musty, a muted tanginess. Different than the standard for a lager style. A mellow, fruity Duvel.

Pours nearly opaque with a massive, rocky, tan head - very dry, vinous, almost tart aroma, with hints of dark fruit - very dry and tannic, with just a hint of malty sweetness on the back end - a bit of sourness, combined with earthy, musty undertones - some roastiness, figs and dried cherries - a bit of coffee and cream in the finish - a very unique stout.
