Apr 6, 2009 Different I like this one. Nice malts on in the aroma with a very subtle bit of fruit in there. You can also smell the sweetness. I like the malt in this one pronounced up front and stays with you in the aftertaste. Beautiful dark deep ruby red color. Medium bodied with a bit of head which does not stick around long at all. Nice one would have again.

Apr 5, 2009 Mahogany appearance with a small, beige head and decent lacing. Late developing yeasty, fruity, malty aroma. Taste was spicy, with dark fruit and grainy, roasted malts. Medium bodied, well carbonated, generously hopped mouthfeel leading to a long lasting finish.

Mar 20, 2009 Sampled in Lexington. Goes down really nicely. Has a bit of a caramel aftertaste / bite. A nice lacey head that lingers. Overall a very well made brew.

Mar 12, 2009 Bottle, #465. Brown pour with medium head. Malty and sweet aroma. Rich flavor of malts and dark fruit. Complex flavor. Curious about what the 8° means.

Mar 1, 2009 dark brown with moderate brown head. estery nose with some dark candi notes. flavor starts off nice with some dark caramel tastes and some dark fruity esters. the problem comes in with the hops, the bitterness and flavor are too overwhelming, though clean, any lingering depth is erased and it threatens style guidelines. not an awful example

Feb 21, 2009 tasting glass at grape and gourmet’s 3rd anniversary. glad to see some VA brews being enjoyed. pours a dark, muddy brown with hints of red and copper with a typically belgian big, tan head. aroma is pleasant with scents of dark fruits, earth, some sweet molasses, and yeast. flavor was good as well with bready malts, some caramel sweetness, raisins, and a slight spice note. mouthfeel is smooth, highly carbonated, and leaves a slightly sticky aftertaste. not a bad effort from a small brewery.
