22oz bottle pours a watery, mahogany brown with some cloudy, white head. Nose has plenty of blackberry, some toast, some chocolate. Flavor is sweet, fruity, more than just berries, some vanilla, some chocolate, a little licorice. Slightly watery, fruity finish. I wanted a bit more.

Location: Draft at Capital Ale-Innsbrook, 11/21/12
Aroma: , The nose is what you would expect, it has lots of spice Belgian yeast, clove, and fruit
Appearance: This one pours in a glass a cloudy gold color with a white head and medium lace
Flavor: The taste is really nice, right on for what you want from this style with spice/yeast, and sweetness
Palate: The body is medium, it has a nice, creamy feel, an average carbonation, and a good finish
Overall Impression: I just have to say again, that as a native of Richmond (or as they say now RVA, which still doesn't sound right to me) I am extremely excited to see a new brewery this good show up in my Hometown. This was a really good example of a Belgian Singel, it is the type of beer that appeals to everyone, and probably one of the best American examples that I can remember trying.
