From bottle, blind #36. Pours cloudy orange with a small off-white head. Dry brett and light peachy aroma from a distance. Dry and peachy. Dry, hoppy and mild acidic base flavoured. Dry and slight sourish base flavour. Bitter and crisp hoppy too. Quite peachy. Lasting dry impression.

Growler shared by GodOfThunder. Pours hazy golden color with white head. Sour, funky aroma. Tart flavor and a little fruity with some wood and a touch of merlot in the background. Medium body with moderate carbonation and a dry finish. Good stuff.

Manhattan Cask Festival - pours a hazy dark ruby - fairly hoppy aroma, with a little bit of chocolate and roast - fairly potent bitterness in this one - some cherry-like character - herbal qualities - roasted and chocolate malt underneath - tastes like a blend of an IPA and a porter, but fairly tasty, especially considering how a lot of other beers held up at this fest.

Pour was a murkey brown with a small white head. Aroma is sweet with some fruit and malt. Flavor is much better, almost like a sour ale. I got more of a cherry than peach but it does have a lot of oak and a strong tartness. Finish is dry and vinegar. The 12% was no problem but you probably can’t have to much of this in one sitting.

On tap at HopCat, Grand Rapids. Clear amber body, thin off-white head. Leafy and bitter body, toasty and grassy with very light sweetness. Somewhat watery and bland. The Livery turns out a number of hoppy beers, but this was one of the weaker ones I’ve sampled.

Sampled at Manhattan Cask Fest - copper pour - aroma of pale british malts, light mineral character, and herbal bittering hops - very herbal and tea-like, with a mild underlying bitterness that compliments is well - biscuity malt underpins it all - the bitterness gets stronger near the finish, leading to a lingering herbal finish.

Big thanks to BBB63 for bringing this beer down to Degarth’s the Tampa tasting. It pours clear copper with thin white head. Big aroma of musty crushed diced prunes, ripe cherries, brown sugar, woody oakiness and a bit of mild heat. The taste is very similar with cherries, dates, plums, raisins all mixed with nice woodiness. Yum. I get notes of the Belgian yeasty spiciness along with faint bubble gum, banana and spice.

Rated March 2008. Big thanks to BBB63 for bringing this beer down to Degarth’s the Tampa tasting. Pours copper-ish orange with thin white head. The aroma has barrel wood notes, it seems a bit chalky, has fruity esters and some caramel. The taste is up front barrel aged wood and booze with a backbone of mild dark fruity ester and caramel malt roastiness. Then the booze fortified notes build again and provide a drying sense. Ends with fruity esters, mild maltiness and more booze.

Big thanks to BBB63 for bringing this tasty growler to Degarth’s Tampa tasting.
Pours deep gold with white head. The aroma doesn’t take any effort to pull in due to its strength. I easily pick up notes of pineapple, grapefruit, mild floral hops and some malt sweetness. The taste seems sessionable to start as the mild malt sweetness, pineapple, and pine hops ramp up to full power. The hops peak with late addition hop flavor to midway before the bottom drops out and the onrush of hop bitterness overtakes the flavor into the finish. Seems to taste and feel more like an IPA than an IIPA since it is smooth, well blended and extremely quaffable. Beware, dangerously drinkable.
