Aug 21, 2006 Growler from the pub: Pours a dark amber with a cream colored head and an aroma of dried dark fruit. The flavor is sweet, maybe overly sweet. Some belgian spices come out with the dark fruit flavor, plums, cinamon, malt, and little bit doughy. Overall not bad, but i’d rather get another brew of theirs.

Aug 9, 2006 murky red brown with a lush cream head that is consistant and laces beautifully. bready nose that just for a second i thought might have some brett in it, maybe it was the banana scent asserting itself? lovely nose. slight tartness in the flavor like grapes. sweet key lime flavor. shortbread in the finish. rich doughy dark fruit, like the taste left after taking a bite from a plum or straberry ( not the sweetness, but the meaty backbone vine taste)hard to describe this complex gem accurately.

Jun 3, 2006 Poured a sepia/copper with a septic haze (sounds worse than it looked) with a thin, cream-colored head & halo. Fruity cherry aroma with defined yeastiness as opposed to the malts I was expecting. Mid-bodied with a malty/tart flavor and a sweet tea finish. Rather complex... I found big hops and caramel sweetness pushing to the forefront at varied intervals. My staple of the afternoon, I had three goblets with no complaints (although I didn’t find the milf that bu11zeye found... but boy was I lookin’!)

May 26, 2006 Very lively fruit component in both aroma and following through in the flavor...apples and pears. These fruits combine with the 7% abv in the finish to create a definite sherry or apple brandy sort of effect that I found rather uniquely refreshing. Very upfront yeastiness as well, visible in both the overall fruitiness and a yeasty/bready sort of characteristic. Quite a nice brew all the way around.
