on Tap at Goose Island. Pour is rich dark, reddish brown and transluscent. Smell is light alcohol, malt and belgian yeast. Taste is faintly malty and even more lightly tart with a hint of alcohol. Pretty bland, really. Just reminds me of the Matilda and Pere Jacques with its too subtle flavor.

May 20, 2008 In short: A good fruity dark Belgian Ale.
How: Tap at brewpub (Clybourn location)
The look: Clear amber body with a short-lived beige head
In long: A somewhat fruity Belgian Ale mixing dark, red fruits and tropical fruits with no single fruit flavour standing out. You’re got berries, raisins, strawberries, pineapples, and just too many to list… Hops are dry grassy and a little spicy. A good beer. Brewed to celebrate the brewer’s 2nd daughter Ciara. An excellent brewer so let’s all hope that the lack of sleep won’t interfere with its brewing skills.

Apr 6, 2008 Dark tan in color with a hint of an almost brown yellow thin head. Aroma is like a licorice ginger. Taste strong clove sugar with a hint of a vanilla with yeasty malty after taste

Apr 5, 2008 pours an almost whiskey color with a thin subtle yellow head. really light on the palate. lots of spice in the nose. notes include subtle vanilla, spices, hops and alcohol. not of their best but a decent effort.
