May 12, 2004 Lot # 130343. Medium orange amber with OK head. Nice aroma of orange marmalade and a hint of cloves. Good malt sweetness with some interesting flavors going on, lots of orange marmalade, and an anise note that is almost like rubbing fresh tarragon between your fingers. Fortunately (since I don’t particularly care for licorice notes) this is a background flavor. A bit of a bite on the palate detracts, but overall a well made and enjoyable beer. After a run of bland Belgians, this was a welcome break.

May 8, 2004 On tap, pours with a gigantic head and a lively fruity aroma of nutmeg, and other spices, and I swear I smelled ginger. Decent color, but I would have liked it a bit darker, had a definate red tint. mouthfeel is a little thin and oily, but quite nice for a spring beer. Tastes great, can’t even detect the alcohol, masked wonderfully. Good stuff!

Mar 17, 2004 A hazy dark red beer with a fine off-white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of nutmeg and cloves - a really lovely aroma. The flavor is sweet with notes of nutmeg, cloves, yeast, oranges, wood, roasted bread, caramel and corriander. A great flavor that is rounded off by a light bitterness. The palate is good - and it warms very nicely.

Mar 16, 2004 An orange brown brew with a big but short lasting head, good lacing however. A good mix of aromas but not in the abundance I expected ( could be just me).Some of the aromas picked up were clove, nutmeg, bread. Good taste. Malts, sweet, aforementioned spices, nice carbonation and the acohol is well hidden. Fairly tasty.
