Oct 27, 2008 Deep copper body with a lot of fast moving bubbles. There is a decent medium khaki head on top. The aroma has some rich bread and amaretto. There is a little hint of dried cherries and cinnamon. The taste has some rich, slightly burnt bread crust with some figs. The finish is stewed black tea. This is ok, but I would prefer some more sweetness.

Jan 17, 2008 Copper color with a medium head. Aroma is a little like cotton candy. Interesting flavor of sourdough. Very yeasty and earthy. Not bitter at all.

Jan 15, 2008 on the label: "A level and plum Belgian-style ale." Don’t get it. Apparently, the name comes from one of Lucan’s most popular exports...frame straighteners, I’d guess?
Poured into a Delirium Tremens tulip. Dark reddish hue, under a small white ring of foam, soon gone.
Sweet aromatics, yep, plums primarily, plenty of dark fruits, berries, ripeness, plump and bright. Yeast and malt singing away. Nice.
Taste: sweet, then tart for a second. Dark fruits maintain dominance in flavor, it’s tasty, but bodiless, and drifts away too quickly. Good drinkability, but loses points for seeming watery and thin.
I think they’re on to something, but it needs some work, something to give it depth and make it memorable.
It’s good, but just evaporates from mouth and memory much too quickly.

Sep 30, 2008 A bit on the sour side. Yellowish, cloudy color. Some fruity notes in the aroma and the flavor. Rather thin in the palate. This is one of the Brau Bros better offerings.

Jul 16, 2008 Bottle, Thanks to Bu11zeye.
Pours a hazy dark amber with off-white head with ok retentin. Aroma of dark fruit, slight roasted malt, a little spice. Flavor is very different from aroma, almost opposite.....Flavor has some nice fruity notes with faint tang, somewhat light on the body, med-high carbonation. Overall, not a bad beer.....easy drinker

Jan 17, 2008 Pours a fairly clear reddish amber with an off white head. Light aroma of banana, yeast, clove, something I’m not too fond of as well. Decent flavor slightly thin body. Disappointing.

Jan 6, 2008 Light hops and grain on the aroma. Orange copper color that’s crips and clear with high carbonation. Light bready body with some faint yeast on the finish. A little chemical hint on the finish. Thanks to Joebrew for the bottle!
