Pour is a clear golden with a large white head. Aroma is yeast ester and vanilla. Pretty creamy. Flavor is green grape with a Belgian yeast ester and a little herbal spice. Decent triple but nothing out of the ordinary.

Draft at Pour Taproom in Durham. Aroma is heavily dominated by blueberry. Flavor is tart blueberry, light citrus, light grass (the previous two probably just the lemongrass), light hay, light yeast. Good.

Pour is a clear golden with a large white head. Aroma is a bit of yeast ester but this is almost all pepper. Flavor is first hit of lemon juice then comes some spicy pepper. Finish is a little tart and palate cleansing. As this warms the peppercorns used come out more in a big way. This was a decent beer but I would probably pass on this if I ever got a chance to try it again. The peppercorns are a bit too much and probably hide other flaws in the beer.

Pour is a hazy orange with a large white head. Aroma is some spicy yeast ester with a bit of sweet honey. Flavor is some bubblegum yeast ester with honey and a dry graham cracker malt. I guess this is trying to be a Duvel clone but this is a bit sweeter with the honey used but it is a bit different and decent flavor.

Bottle from Tasty Beverage Co. Rare Vos glass. Thick pasty head over a hazed yellow amber body. A tickled dry hopped & carmelized honey nose. Sizzling carbonation, ever slightly tart. Pleasantly dry, with only a slight “gloop” of stickiness on the second half. Floral honey, with a hint of melon. Obviously strong, but warm & not in an ugly way. Solid amount of cleansing bitterness lingers. Well done.

Bottle shared at Craft CG - cheers! It pours cloudy reddish - brown with a medium beige head. The aroma is earthy roasted malts, coffee, chocolate, ash, booze, candied fruits and rocky road. The taste is dry, bitter, earthy roasted malt, chewy, tar, wood, coffee grounds, leather, berry skin, tangy action and cherry cola with some coffee through the finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Interesting stuff. Fun.
