Draft at Redlight Redlight. Pours a hazy reddish-copper color, with a small, foamy, off-white head. Settling quickly to a wispy film with a prominent edge, the cap leaves minimal, spotty traces of lacing on the glass. The aroma shows light candy sugar, maraschino cherries, raisin, and some estery Belgian yeast notes. Flavors follow suit, sweet up front from the dark fruits and sugary malts, with a lightly tart charry overtone that turns a bit acrid on the finish. There is a slightly medicinal feel overall. Medium bodied, with balanced carbonation, the finish is slightly dry and yeasty. Decent brew.

draft at redlight redlight. Musty, yeasty, aroma with sweet malts, light colored fruits, green grapes, hints of cherries, maybe even dried figs. Pours a reddish amber with golden sides and a thin white head that dissipate. Hints of cherries as soon as it hits your tongue, then turns to sweet malts, sugary, with a slight tartness, very smooth with spicy yeast. This is a really really good beer.

On tap @ brewery. Pours clear copper with off white head. The aroma comes across as rather fruity with cherries, prunes, figs, raisins and then plenty of winter spice that seems like coriander, cinnamon and cloves. The taste is fruity too like the nose starting with semi sweet cherries and moves toward figs, prunes and dates. A mild raisin and peppery-ness cuts the sweet fruitiness for a moment as the coriander, cinnamon and cloves come to the surface. I also get a faint caramel and malt sweetness that rides along the back of the flavor experience.

Draft at brewery. Pours a cloudy brown color with a white head. Has hints of Christmas spice, Belgian yeast, caramel, and candied sugar. Finishes with a farmhouse funk sour flavor. Unique taste. Reminded me of a Saison.
