Feb 16, 2009 Thanks to Justin for bringing us a sample down to woody’s! Clear dark amber brown pour with ring of light tan head. Aroma is sweet malt, belgian yeast, and hints of cherries. Flavor is about the same. Certainly a bit of alcohol on this one, I’d suspect this might be pushing the ’low alc’ TN laws to the limit. Considerably better as it warms.

Feb 15, 2009 On tap at Blackstone’s, Nashville. Reddish-copper pour, tan head. Decent lace. Poured too cold and had to let it sit for awhile to bring out the nose and flavor. Lively mouthfeel, spicy, candy notes, alcohol hint. Cherry notes came out as the beer warmed. Dry finish. Decent.

Feb 8, 2009 On tap at the brewery. Poured a hazy brown color with a two finger brown head. The aroma was very malty, with dark fruits present. The flavor was well balanced, with a bit of sugar present. This was a solid beer. If the body had been just a bit heavier, this would have been excellent.
