Milwaukee YEHa’05, brought by BBB63. First thoughts: this is a Tripel? OK...dark brown body, thin off-white head. Sweet, fruity aroma, with hints of brown sugar. Dark fruit flavor, alcohol, chocolate, and caramel, with a hint of raisin thrown into the mix. Strong and "dark" for a Tripel. Alcohol is a bit biting and rough. Roasty, chocolatey body doesn’t quite fit the Tripel mold. Interesting nonetheless.

Milwaukee YEHa!05, brought by BBB63. Deep brown body, thin ring of light tan carbonation. Toasty aroma with raisin and prune, burnt, heavy fruits and carameled breads. Rather dry, toasty body with a touch of prune and raisins, caramel, and roasty. A bit dry. This was OK, nothing too special.

Milwaukee YEHa!05, brought via growler by BBB63. Orange-brown body, hazy, with a thin beige head. Plenty of citrus (grapefruit) in the aroma, sweet, with caramels and pine. Big perfumey bitter hops flavor, very tea-like with a hint of lemon and other citrus fruits. Before reading this uses Amarillo hops I was thinking more along the lines of the European varieties...ehh, oh well. Too bitter and piercing for my palate, but the malt sweetness did balance that out, if only slightly.
