Sep 25, 2009 From a 12 oz bottle into a pint glass. Pours with lots of foamy head which dissipates fairly quickly leaving only a thin layer. Color is a great copper red, almost cherry-like. Aroma is yeasty with plum, almost belgian like. Taste is of yeast plums, cherry, clove and alcohol. It’s a bit too alcoholey for me which I normally don’t like and in this case, causes the beer to have a mediciney taste. Mouthfeel is very good, not too thick and not too thin. I’m not a huge fan of this style but I had to try any brew that GLBC makes. It’s a quality beer, but just not for me.

Sep 23, 2009 120z bottle from goryshkewych. Rating #165. Great looking beer, dark amber, burnt caramel color. Aroma had lots of toastiness, caramel maltiness, smelled great. Flavor was a little fruity, apples, not what I wexpected, way off from the aroma. ꀚ)

Sep 23, 2009 Bottle hazy amber pour with hints of clove, banana and bread. Same in the taste with a tad bit of spice in the finish. Really good.

Sep 21, 2009 Bottle courtesy of Ughsmash, thanks man. Pours a hazed tawny brown with a medium to large beige white head that diminishes rather quickly. Big sweet plum and light banana notes and some light esters. Medium bodied, lightly sweet, light plum and prune. Finishes up with some light banana and yeast and a touch of alcohol.

Sep 20, 2009 Poured a nice hazy amber color with a small white head. Sweet fruity aroma and tasted of banana, cloves and some honey? Creamy palate. An excellent beer.

Sep 20, 2009 Sweet aroma, very small off-white head. Nice red copper color to this beer. Complex flavor; dominated by sweetness that turns into banana. Smooth crisp finish with no alcohol burn which is good and surprising for a high-ABV beer. Good.

Sep 17, 2009 I didn’t think that I liked this style very much. But I liked this beer a lot. Nose is heavy bananas with some spice. Refreshing and light on the mouthfeel, with a crisp finish. Definitely one to try, and as a former Clevelander, something that makes me proud.

Aroma: Sweet nose of yeast, berries, and nuts
Appearance: Pours a clear reddish-amber color
Flavor: Nice complexity, some sweet fruit, yeast, spice

Overall Impression:
This is a pretty nice beer, it really works nicely, and can see why it is so highly rated, quite tasty and enjoyable. A rich, flavorful beer with a nice complexity of flavor. I could see going even higher on this score after a few more samplings, but I’ll rate it here for now. This is a pretty interesting beer.
