2009 bottle. Pours a still, clear reddish amber with no head. Rich aroma of candied cherries, caramel malt, raisins and brown sugar. Alcohol is noticeable but by no means hot. Moderately sweet flavor, some notes of green grape underneath toffee, dried apricots, plums and graham cracker. Slightly cardboardy finish. Softly carbonated with a slightly sticky mouthfeel.

Jan 3, 2010 Tried on Beer Quest 2010 with all the guys. This was number 11. Pour was not amazing but went up from there. The aroma of yeast and malts. The flavor is complex. Hard to distinguish. Some yeasts, flowers, and woody.

Dec 31, 2009 Have a scant old rating note for this from the brewpub in Chicago: spice, malt, yeast aroma. lemon and bread taste. dry fruit aroma. That’s all I’ve got other than a score.

Dec 27, 2009 Cloudy orange, thin beige head. Ripe fruit aroma with some tartness, honey, and clove. Taste is not overly sweet or bold but is mild and smooth with peach and pear notes. Maybe this bottle has some pretty good age on it.

Dec 27, 2009 12 oz bottle Pours a nice orange with a small off white head. Taste is close to an abby style with hint of citrus a bit heavy on the spices for my taste.

Dec 21, 2009 Lovely beer. Tasty too. Poured with a grand foamy, frothy off white head and great lace. Color is a medium amber. Aroma is very yeasty, malty, a little hop, and a bit vineous. Flav’s the same but more full. Very good body and carbonation. Satisfying. Don’t pick up much on the alcohol. Nicely balanced. Finish is good. Kind of on the border between a drinkable beer and a special. I’d imagine that would be ideal from the brewer’s perspective. Whatever.
