Apr 6, 2009 22oz bottle from the brewery. Dark red/brown with thin head. Fruity malt/spice aroma matches a taste that is light and refreshing with a mix of citrus and clove standing out the most. Very unique take on a "belgian-style barleywine". Comes off a bit soapy. If that could be toned down, I’d be a bigger fan.

Mar 29, 2009 22 oz. special bottle at DuffmanSW beer tasting. Pours golden reddish with a tiny foamy head. Smells like a peppery Belgium. Bitter citrus flavor with a tangy finish. Very interesting to say the least....Thank you to Mike and Diane for bringing this for us to try.

Mar 29, 2009 Bottle at DuffmanSWs beer tasting. Pours a reddish brown with a white head. Spicy and malty with a bitter citrusy finish. Don’t remember much about this one, other than it was unusual but not bad.

Dec 6, 2008 Updated: Dec 7, 2008Holiday Ale Festival 2008. Copper with a soft off-white head. Spicy nose of caramel, clove and soft toastiness. Flavor picks up a nutty flavor with lingering spice long into the finish. I wish it had a bit more carbonation to bring out the spices a bit more and dry it out, felt a bit heavy on the palate, but decent. A bit heavy on the coriander for me.

Dec 4, 2008 Holiday Ale Fest 08... Poured amber/ruby with a light, beige head. Aroma of ginger and barley-like spices. Almost a chlorine flavor in there which brought down the flavor points. Also some cracker malt-grains, and herbal notes. Finished with barley and malt.
