A very special bottle from EDA, thanks. Dark pour, almost black, with some beige head. Aroma is some light toffee / chocolate, belgian yeast, and some pit fruit. Flavor is the same, with a hint of sugary sweetness, and the yeast lingers in the finish.

Dec 12, 2009 Pours murky mahogany with a small tan head. The aroma has caramel, sourdough, sharp citrus, rich sweetness and earthy Belgian yeast. It has a medium body that seems crisp, but that is probably due to the excessive carbonation. The aroma has some band aid, phenolic spice and alcohol heat that appears and overshadows a lot of the aspects noted on the aroma. The finish has some anise & citrus. Decent beer, but I’d hoped for more.

Dec 9, 2009 Dark red-brown beer has ruby highlights and frothy head. Nose of caramel apples, chunky honey, with bits of cinnamon and coriander. Tastes quite sweet, nearly cloying, with not quite enough bitterness to check it IMO. Spicier than I’d like and a bit warm in the finish. This brewer usually nails drinkability but misses it this time.

Dec 2, 2009 Pours a dark brown with good head/lacing with fruity aroma. Way too dry, completely kills any sweetness from the orange/honey notes. I think this beer really missed the mark.

Nov 29, 2009 Bottle. Pours dark brown with a thin but bubbly white head. Very mild but nice aroma, a bit a yeast, cherries, honey, very sweet. Flavor starts out sweet with dark fruits and citrus adding a touch of bitterness. Honey with a floral touch comes out as it goes down and then finishes dry with a touch of cherry tartness. Fairly smooth on the palate but well carbonated, alcohol is almost non existent. Overall very good.

Nov 29, 2009 750 ml bottle. From the US (H). Shared with Brandman.
Dark brown colour with small tan head.
Weak sugary aroma with yeast and mild alcohol notes.
Sweet sugary, mild hoppy and smooth flavour with some alcohol warmth but no alcohol taste. Smooth and balanced brew with lively carbonation. Not extremely complex though.

Nov 28, 2009 Phenomenal drinkable beer,No sign of high a.b.v. although a little on the sweet side, it smelled great with an attractive, sweet and slightly yeasty nose. Mouthfeel was very smooth. Oh, and tasty too.
