Sep 5, 2007 YES YES! oh sinister minister you touch me like a choir boy. A great amber hue with pale light head. Aromas of dark candied fruits, malty sweetness, cereal. Aw the mouth feel is medium to heavy with caramel, sweet nuts, candy malts, and a delicious balance of hops caressing your tongue. Try cellaring this for a year or more. mmmmmmmmmmm!

Aug 31, 2007 Pours a black and orange body, depending on how you look at it. Head is white, thin, laces well, but is very low. Smells lightly of lemon, cotton, yeast, cranberry...very fresh. Taste is tangy, with bitter hops, sweet malt, evergreen pine, coriander spice, chocolate, lemon, pineapple, slight berry. Solid beer, high abv in aftertaste. Exciting beer, but I can see how purists of the style would not enjoy the hopiness.

Aug 25, 2007 On draft at some little BBQ joint in Seal Beach, CA. Really nice example of the style, a pleasant spice to cut the bigness that comes off drinkable and fantastic.

Aug 23, 2007 Updated: Jan 9, 2009Poured from a bomber. Poured a nice golden-amber color with a small head that diminished quickly to a layer. Smell is nice, mainly sweet with notes of spices peaking through. Thick mouthfeel with just the right amount of carbonation. Taste is the same as the nose, with some fruit accompanying the spices in the taste. Quite sweet, but very nice. I enjoyed this much more than I thought I would.

Aug 23, 2007 Malty aroma backed by Belgian candi, yeast and spice notes. Beautiful dark orange amber color with a white head that promptly ringed. A bit thin in body. Starts quite sweet, with dark sugar, dark fruits (in a light sort of way), and some varying spicy notes. The finish is mildly sweet, and there is not really a hint of bitter. Just a touch of what could be considered very ripe fruit.

Aug 18, 2007 Bottle. Dark amber in color with no head. Honey and nutmeg in the aroma. Very strong alcohol taste. Slightly bubbly mouthfeel which I don’t particularly care for in a quad.

Aug 18, 2007 Nice lighter color with good head. Great malty/yeasty aroma with a touch of caramel and subtle spice. There is certainly a yeasty/sugary quality but it is measured and balanced by quiet spice flavors. A well balanced brew which hides its strength quite well, but alcohol is still present. Overall I quite enjoyed this brew.
