Jul 11, 2009 Draught at Capone’s: Aroma of yeast, malts, and spices. Poured yellow/gold in color with a small white head that lasted around the edges. Sparkling. Clear. Flavor is light to medium sweet. Tastes of yeast, hops, too many spices, wheat, mint, and malts. Medium body. Slightly dry texture. Average carbonation. Yeasty, very spiced finish. Way too much spice in this. The spices just muddle any real spice flavor. 8.5%ABV is well hidden.

Jul 10, 2009 Holy crap the spice is all over the map! Crazy. Nose is fun and fairly pleasant, full of nutmeg, cinnamon, apple pie, pepper, thought I smelled thyme but maybe it was just the weird combo of all those other spices. Flavor is less pleasant, with the spices really harsh on the palate. Light malt is dominated by the spicy pepperiness. Maybe some phenols in the finish. Lingering pepperiness. Semi-dry.

Jul 10, 2009 Tap at Capones. Pours a hazy golden with a nice creamy white head that left great lacing. Aroma of an interesting mix of herbal spices, toasted malt, bready and some noble hops. Flavor of that same mix of herbal spices and ginger, toasted malt and some noble hops that are covered up by the spicing. Not a fan of the overly herbal spiciness. But still a well crafted beer.

Jul 8, 2009 draft poured a hazy straw color with a thin white head. aroma has plenty of spices, clove, pepper, and a bit of green flowers. not the strongest mouth feel but nice carbonation. flavor pulls lots of spices some i would only hit with the description. clove, coriander, pepper, and ginger. an odd throw it all in combination that has so many directions.

Jul 8, 2009 Tap @ Amsterdam Ale House, NYC. Pours a hazy gold with a fluffy white head. Aroma is sweet, with a bit of a yeast characteristic detectable and a strong clove/spice presence. Taste is largely the same, with the palate much stronger than some of the Belgian ales from Brooklyn. It was, overall, very solid.

Jul 6, 2009 tasted like you grabed a handful of jelly beans, shoved them in your mouth and the the last one you tasted was the black one. Everything was decent about this beer except its taste. It felt like it was trying to jam everything inside of you at once. Beers by chefs have been largely boring to me, and this one certainly isn’t worth the pour.

Jul 6, 2009 Draught@Københavnske Øldage 2009. A thin dense whith head upon a very pale, yellow colored body. Spiced, citrus-fruity hop aroma, very fresh indeed. Fairly sweer-flavored, perfumed and wheaty with oranges and lemons and some nice spicy undertones. Very crisp in the mouth. Well-bodied. Fruity hops and spices in the finish. A true summer treat, very nice.
