Commercial Description:
A rich brown ale inspired by the enigmatic monastic brews of Belgium, and the mysterious mist shrouded jungles of the tropics. Brewed with real cacao, and spiced with cinnamon and sweet orange peel for a sensual delight. A brew to be sipped, savored, and enjoyed!

Pours a hazy dark orange amber with a two finger creamy light tan head that leaves a sticky lace. The nose is sweet and spicy, cinnamon, earthy Belgian tones, yeasty. The flavor is sweet, earhty, Belgian yeast, fruity and spicy, cinnamon here too and it actually causes the beer to taste a little hot. Like chewing a lot of Big Red. Fairly carbonated and finishes spicy.

Bottle. Brown-gold pour with a big white head. Cloudy and leaving amazing lacing. Pungent sharp sourness with cinnamon behind it. Opens with cinnamon into big barnyard-earthy funk. Finishes with deep bitter dark chocolate. Full-bodied and highly drinkable. The chocolate in the finish is a perfect contrast to the sourness. Masterfully-balanced like so many JP offerings.

Bottle. Batch 253. Copper beer with a tan head. Cocoa, caramel, cinnamon/spice aroma with light citrus and light tartness. Tart, light citrus flavor with caramel turning to spice, malt, and some light stone fruit. Medium body. Spice, cinnamon and nutmeg linger with malt and tartness.

Bottled. Hazy and amber coloured with a rather large white head. Quite malty with notes of orangepeel, cloves, cinnamon, cocoa, cherry, nuts and wood. Ok balanced and quite complex - maybe even a little confusing.

Mørk nøddebrun med beige skum som hurtigt forsvinder. Dufter af gløgg og kanel, maltet og noget sjovt syrligt, nødder og appelsin. Syrlig i smagen, nødder maltet, noget appelsinskal og cacao. Humlen er meget anonym og overdøvet af krydderierne
