Bottle, Trader Joe'�s Bellingham. Dark brown. Big head. The aroma has a nice floral note, esters, classic Unibroue aroma. The flavour profile is excellent, lots of dark malts, spice, a bit of coriander, toffee, coriander, splash of alcohol. Solid effort yet again.

750mL bottle, pours a deep dark brown with a medium beige head. Aroma exudes a complex, spicy Belgian yeast character, a touch of leather, and some molasses. Flavour is nicely spicy, with molasses, leather, spicy Belgian yeast, and a touch of phenols. Spicy, slightly above carb, with a dry, phenolic finish. Good stuff as usual.

12oz can best before 06/04/24, drunk 1/25/24. Clear, pale golden. Sweaty, funky, farmy. Wow is this a French style mass produced farmhouse trader Joe's cider? I have to say, this is nice. Sweet, not too much so, more body than sugar. Sweaty, farmy, rustic, lightly lactic. Juicy. Lingering vanilla and honey.

Pours dark brown into a tulip. Tan conglomerate head with good retention recedes to coat surface. Raisin, fig and date aromas. Dry with sweet molasses, clove, and date upfront turning to earthy toasted brown bread in the medium length finish.

Pour is a clear dark amber with a large tan head. Aroma is sweet molasses with dark fruit. Flavor is sweet dark sugar, toffee and a sugar covered dark plum. Finish is dark fruit all over the place. Very tasty but sweet and I think this can cost all of a $1 at Trader Joe's.

750 c&c from Trader Joe's in Davis, CA. Pours clear dark brown with a monstrous creamy tan head that sort of did a Guinness. Aroma of dark malt with spice. Arguably full bodied. As usual, tho not always, it is marvelous and the spices are hard to parse. Malty but the spice stands in for bitter. This year is really excellent. As are most years.
