A hazy pale amber beer with a huge light brown head. The aroma is lightly grassy, while the flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel as well as hints of grass and fruit, and with prunes in the aftertaste. I had expected more.

(From a trade with Dark Elf-thanks) A high quality ipa. The aroma starts with a powerful hint of brandy that faded in only a few seconds. Ordinary appearance; short lived head, gold in color. Different flavors all related to hops. There is dry grass and some citrus, with a dry finish.

Doesn’t really taste much like a belgian dark ale, but then again, Lagunitas never really makes anything that adheres strictly to style - other than that, this is a pretty tasty brew - roasty, toasty maltiness rests atop an undercurrent of belgian-like, sugar sweetness and a light yeastiness - not one of their best, but quite good.

Bottle pours a clear very dark but not quite opaques black. Very rich creamy tan head and very thick lacing. Aromas are dark roasted malts and a sweet carmel or coffee hint. Flavor is quite light on the roastedness and rather pale in general. Vanilla and toffee. joh\sh is right on. Slightly smokey and I’d say more like a soft porter than a stout. Especially an Imperial. Very easy on the bittering hops and no real bite in the aftertaste. Nice smooth feel but pretty light on the pallette Easy to put down and at 8.2 % Im gona be in trouble in about a half hour.

Bottle Pours a sllightly hazy golden yellow with a thin white head. Light fruity aromsa and a healthy hops kick. Flavors were quite bitter but not in a good, hoppy way. Seemed a bit off. Plenty of malts for body and a nice thick heavy feel. Linger bitterness again that I didn’t think was only the hop profile. May have to try again soon.

Bottle Pours a slightly hazy rich dark golden amber with a very large creamy off white head. Aroma of that brown sugar, clove, banana, belgian ensemble. Expected belgian flavors but with a bit of a metallic and woody flavor as well. No surprises on the trailer and a very thin but clean feel. Glad to have tried it. I allways look forward to trying these guys latest.

Bottle. Amber color with a nice white head. Crisp yeasty aroma with some earthy spice. Nice balance. Flavor has a lot going on - fruity (peach), some grain, some earthiness, some herbal tones - a lot of saison-like qualities. Only problem is, the beer gets tiring. Small sample would score better.

Bottle pours a very cloudy dark copper with a small off white head. Good lacing that is thin but evenly sheeting. Very nice aroms of caramel, borwnsugar and lightly roasted malts. Flavor was similar, with a noticeable ABV kick but did not detract. Very smooth feel. Medium hoppy bite at the end. Thanks Buch Dich for sharing this one
