Opaque brown, frothy tan head, slightly tart malt ahoma, peppary malt flavor (grains of paradise), touch of sweetness, awesome, rich chocolate covered banana slices with a dash of peppar, one day old, can’t wait to see what happens when it grows up, proud to be beer review #2000

flavors have blended into a rich brown ale with a nice spicy character that lingers long into the finish

opaque brown, thin frothy head, medium body, sweet fruity aroma with a nice peppery edge, lots of great ripe fruit flavor with a spicy pepper finish, thins out after a while, great but never back to the special first lust

Jun 4, 2008 Pretty walnut brownish color, with a tight off white bubbly head. Hints of fruit and spice in the aroma, predominantly nuts and dates. The palate has some great spiciness, a hint of yeasty characters in the form of cloves, and a bit of dark fruit in the finish. Lively carbonation and a satisfying mouthfeel, well balanced and smooth.

May 1, 2008 20071216 Bottle, 2005, shared at Madness with the Moose v.2. Plenty of estery Belgian yeast notes. Earthy hops, bag o’grain. A bit thin but could be a nice quaffer.

Mar 29, 2008 Tasted at the February Nor Cal Beer Tasting. This Belgian brown ale poured a deep brown color. Medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is fruity, spicy and sweet. A medium bodied Belgian brown ale. The malts are fruity and sweet. Seems a bit more spicy than fruity. Very lively carbonation. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly spicy.

Feb 26, 2008 NorCal Feb ’08 - Not sure if I’ve ever had a beer from 5 Seasons (always thought there were only 4....maybe the 5th season is beer season) but this was okay. The beer looked to be bottled by the brewery, no lable just a tag that says it was bottled in 2005. The beer pours out cloudy rich brown body, two finger head. A bit of fruitcake in the nose, caramel, light fleshy fruits, maybe some honey. Mouthfeel had that overcarbonated feel I don’t enjoy in most Belgians. Flavor is suprisingly piney, with a nice touch of spiciness that overlays the pine. Spices take over about mid-palate with a clean nutty finish. Nice beer.
