2004 draught. Deep caramel brown with some light burgundy hints and some mellow orange hues. No head, lightly bubbly and has an intersting lightly astringent malt smell. Light bubble gum, and esters. Flavor has alot of chewy bubble gum, hints of fruit esters, and a decent dose of caramel malt. A hint of citric flavoring, and a healthy dose of belgian yeast makes this quite drinkable, but not outstanding. Mostly dry, a bit too fizzy, with not a ton of complexity, but no major flaws.

Sep 14, 2008 Reddish brown with thin white head. Fruit and sweet malt aroma. Dark fruit, grain, and caramel flavours. Medium body and sweet. My cousin noted that it reminded him of chicken wings....

Dec 26, 2007 7-22-06 MBG. Mahogany, with huge tan head. Aroma is very muted. Fruity esters but a certain soapiness I can’t get past. Flavor quite nice. Plenty of dark fruit, prune, fig, and overripe banana. Again get a certain soapiness in the finish, really kills the beer for me. Re-rate in the near future.

Feb 28, 2007 I live down the street from Bastones and I never get tired of this one. Medium body, smooth carmel flavors, and it goes down nice.
