Bottled, thanks jjpm74! Cloudy amber, no head. Strong caramel aroma. Sweet and very malty with full body. Evident notes of oak, vanilla and whiskey. There’s lots crystal malt, some pears, lots of barrel character.

Bottled, thanks jjpm74! Cloudy mahogany colour, no head. Fruity red currant aroma. Sweet and densely malty with cocoa and plum brandy. Full bodied with sensational tang of chipotles and raspberries. Complicated, warming and unusual.

Growler. Musty, metallic, light malt and smoke aroma. Light yellow color with minimal head. LIght flavor - musty/barnyard, malt with a mild peppery hops finish. No intense flavors but probably a lot closer to a traditional saison than many of others available (beats Harpoon hands down).

Bottle consumed on 2/23/07. Bottle code 6 157, whatever that means.
Oh boy! Another New England blueberry ale....I’m pretty sure I could rate this in my sleep. I bet it’s got a nice white head, a light golden body , clear, with moderate retention and minimal lacing.
It probably smells of lightly tart blueberry essence, a touch of dry blueberry skin (though whole fruit is not used) and some dry, lightly grainy, highly attenuated pale malts in the background. Clean, no yeast apparency. Probably some honey as it warms.
Flavor tastes of soft blueberry essence, not overly tart, with sweet, lightly honeyish malts. Filtered texture gives some looseness/wateriness on the finish and a bit too much sweetness builds up upon warming/breathing as it finishes.

And yes, after pouring and smelling/drinking the beer, that’s what it’s like, more or less. The unique character on this particular one? It tastes very chalky and lightly bitter. The blueberry flavor and aroma is more concentrated than in most. Tastes almost like white grape juice. Powderiness noted on the end. Oh and there’s more lacing than normal (everything seems to lace very well on this new glass of mine, however)
Good lord I hate this "style".

Growler from brewery. Slightly sweet apple malt aroma. Bright amber color with moderate head. Nice malt/Horlicks flavor. On the light side. A very nice amber ale.

An unclear brown beer with a dying orange head. The aroma is sweet with notes of wood, caramel, and bourbon. The flavor is of bourbon, wood, and mollasses, and the body is thick. Not Your typical Doppelbock, more like a Barley Wine.

Sampled at the Richmond Beer Industry Gathering 2006. Clear dark amber body with a small white head. Sweet dark caramel aroma with some alcohol burn. Sweet caramel flavor with a very gentle ending.

Nice, an extra in a trade from ClarkVV that came just yesterday. Sat in the closet for a day and fridged for 90 minutes. Pulled out the big boy for this, the Triple Karmeliet large tulip glass. Poured all black with a medium sized tan head that quickly receded into a halo lacing. Aroma is very present - a very weird and oringinal mix, unlike most imperial stouts. Get lots of different elements - vanilla mixed with burnt roastiness mainly appears. Taste is a bit weak expecially for somehting this "extreme" as the label falsely advertises. Mainly get a light burnt roast with no real aftertaste. Medium-light body with average mouthfeel. A light imperial stout in a way. Still definitely imperial but lighter than most.
