Aug 29, 2008 Clear amber with lots of visible sediment and a tiny off-white head. Sharp woodsy aroma with alcohol and Christmas spices. Flavor is sweet malt and fruit with a mildly bitter finish. Very interesting.

Aug 11, 2008 Bottle: Pours a hazy deep copper/orange with a nice, creamy, dense light tan head that lasts. Has a unique aroma. Very fruity and spicy simultaneously. It’s very hard to describe. Maybe some notes of strawberry? and toffee? with elegant soft spices as well. Almost like fruit roll-ups. The body is creamy and full feeling. The flavor is unique as well. Has an herbal fruitiness. Notes of strawberry, green raisin?, vinous characteristics, red grapes, grainy herbs, and late subtle toffee remains in the palate. This is unique, complex, interesting, and just an enjoyable beer experience.

Aug 1, 2008 Poured a nice cloudy amber color with a big fluffy white head. Aroma was of spices, fruit, particularly pineapple, and some hops to boot. Flavor is very unique for the style, a nice lemon/pineapple zest mixes very well with the extreme belgian sweetness. YUM!

Jul 3, 2008 Bottle. Ruddy reddish-brown pour with a dense yellow-white head. Alcohol in the aroma, peaches, stone fruit, lemon. Slightly sour. Flavor is a little sour and funky, bitterness comes in front of the malt, which is interesting. Unbalanced and slightly rocky finish - astringent, dry, and chalky. There’s merit here, but I’ll need to have it again to make sure.

Jun 30, 2008 This one stole a few points in the appearance and flavor categories. The color has a merry pink (very slight) hue which I’ve never seen before. The flavor is exceptionally enigmatic: quince, wheat, roasted walnut, toasted malt to balance. Very unusual, well-hidden alcohol.

Jun 14, 2008 A good surprise here. The aroma has sweet malt, Belgian monastery yeast, and dried fruit. Impressive appearance, tall, thick head, and cloudy brown. A little salty in the flavor with moderate malt sweetness and more fruit. Full bodied.
