more of a saison than a Belgian strong, it doesn’t have enough alcohol to be the latter, and has spices and yeast like the former. Yeast aroma. Sweet flavor with some malt, grass, and wildflowers. I enjoyed this quite a bit.

Aug 16, 2008 Courtesy of Yespr. The beers floods out of the bottle. The color is dark red-brown and the head is dense and creamy. The aroma has notes of hops, roasted malt and a little chocolate. The flavour has a hoppy bitterness, sweetness, notes of roasted malt, chocolate, citrus, spice and the balance is very nice. I like it a lot.

Jul 17, 2008 A reddish amber ale with a thin off white head. A nice sweet candy sugar aroma with orange peels, hops and warming alcohol. In mouth, a rather peaty sweet malt with curacao, licorice, light herbal hops, oily mouthfeel. Medium bodied. Tasted late Dec. 2006.

May 9, 2008 This is seriously good stuff. Reminiscent of marmalade spread over sweet dark wheat bread. I really enjoy the hop profile that is in this BSA as well. It is extremely well balanced, creamy mouthfeel but still rich and smooth.

Apr 25, 2008 750 ml bottle from Monument in Concord, CA. Musty, bready, yeasty, dark fruity, floral aromas. Seriously. Near mahogany color with small particles and a fair, creamy beige head. Full bodied with creamy carbonation. Flavor is sweet malt, with floral hop and a lot of mysterious things. Very smooth. Finish is well balanced, and not very sweet. It’s just delicious. It’s really, really excellent. Brilliant, even.
