Jan 3, 2009 Bottle that came in the Port Brewing and Lost Abbey boxes of beers from Phil L’s, Beer Merchants, cheers Phil for the nod on when these beers were in, consumed 03-01-09. Pours dark amber bit hazy with an off white head. Aroma is toffee, spice and fruits. Good bitterness, nice sweet citric bitter bite, really quite spicy, some tangerine and toffee also floating about. The bitterness and spices are actually quite numbing at times. Lovely warming beer. A7 A3 F7 P4 OV15 3.6

Dec 31, 2008 Bottle from Capones. Pours out a cloudy light copper/orange color with a moderate off white head. Aroma is of some caramel, fruit, funk and some spices. Taste is complex and well balanced, citrus fruits some funk, spice and some hop dryness all with a little brett in there also. Well done.

Dec 30, 2008 Thanks to Redlight for the taste. Pours a caramel color with a tan pillow of a head. Alcohol is strong in the scent with caramel and orange peel making a presence. Taste is slightly bitter with a nice amount of sweetness and some lemon citrus to round it out.

Dec 30, 2008 Bottle. Medium high fluffy but lasting off-white head. Hazy dark orange body. Sweet and fruity aroma of pears plums and raisins and a hint of alcohol. Flavor dominated by a dry hoppyness with stays for a long time. Alcohol can be spotted but is not too much of a good thing. Fruity flavors in the backgroun. Low carbonation.

Dec 28, 2008 Year-old bottle, cellared Christmas 2007 and enjoyed Christmastime 2008.
Opens with a faint puff of air and pours a rich coppery caramel with a nice head and big lacing. More pineapple in the aroma than I have seen in almost any other beer, sweet belgian notes, spicy pungency. Still tons of citric hops remaining after a year, pretty mild brett profile. Honey and bready malts, spicy, plenty of tropical fruit. Thick and oily mouthfeel, pretty hot from the alcohol.
Curious beer indeed, but entirely enjoyable.

Dec 26, 2008 08 Bottle...murky brown in color with no head. Nose is big on ripe apple, fresh mint, belgian sugar and a bit of roasted malts...medium body. Flavor consists mainly of mixed fruits, apples, caramel malt and some spiced accents. Decent but a bit of a letdown.
