Aroma of caramel malt, some fruity pear, grassy hops and a hint of marshmallow. Taste is medium bodied, with flavors of caramel malt, some noble hops, a hint of California apricots, pear and some light herbal spice. Finish is semi-dry with some caramel and dry apricot aftertaste.

Jan 13, 2009 Appearance: Pours a hazed, deep reddish body with a thin, bubbly, whitish head.
Smell: Aroma smelling of gently toasted malts, a hint of caramel, some fruitiness, and floral, spicy Noble hops.
Taste: Light caramel over toasted grains with a single pinch of basic table sugar. Light apricot fruitiness. Floral, faintly spicy hops with a mellow bitterness. Small touch of alcohol ushers in the bittersweet finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: A bit of a gaudy presentation for what is a basic, though well-balanced and reasonably enjoyable red. Just glad I wasn’t on the wax-removing crew.

Apr 1, 2009 1ltr bottle from O’Brien’s. Pours a lightly cloudy copper color with a 1 inch think beige head, spotty lacing was left on the Orval Trappist glass. Nose was quite sweet with dark fruits, honey and toffee. Flavor was sweet with toffee being the dominant factor, light hops and dark fruits in there as well. I really dug this brew, way underrated in my opinion.
