Nov 7, 2009 Wow, I didn’t know this was retired. Bottle thanks to Eric shared at his tasting. Pours a clear golden color with a bubbly white head. A super odd nose; sweet and sour notes, barrel aromas for sure. A very nice flavor; sweet apples and yeast, loads of barrel and the brandy comes right through. A weird experience, and a nice one. Lots of apples and a decadent brew.

Oct 30, 2009 Bottle at the release of Flaming Fury. Got the end of the bottle on this one and it was murky as anything, so I’ll have to try and revisit this at some point if I can. Poured a murky light brown with a thin white head. Huge brandy with a faint apple component. Sweet, a bit thin, and living up to the name, rather delicious. There’s a touch of plastic as well, but overall good, and definitely something I’ll be looking to try again.

Sep 24, 2009 power of suggestion because it did look like apple juice with tiny white head...odd amounts of sweet with high alcohol...not a big fan of this one

Sep 7, 2009 Bottle shared with Rudolf. Apple juice looking pour. Highly carbonated, tiny bibbles galore. Apple juice aroma, scotch whiskey. Fruitiness. taste is immediate booze burn, quick heat to the palate. Heat lingerrs fro awhile. Sweet fruitiness, apple, gets overwhelmed by the scotch. See,s much boozier than 10%. a sipper

Aug 31, 2009 Thanks Secret Santa! Brought this to be sampled at the Relentless Thirst tasting. Medium yellow, clear, nice head. Aroma is honey malts, apple, and alcohol heat. Flavor is essentially a match. A very nice tripel with a good dose of apple brandy notes and woodiness. Nice stuff.
