Commercial Description:
And so the Three Wise Men set out from the East bearing gifts of Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh. Along the Way, they follwoed a bright light. The Bible neglects to mention if they brought beer or not. Who goes crossing the desert without beer? How smart are we to believe these wise men were? Since Christmas is the season of gift giving more than receiving, please be a giver and share the Wisdom found in each and every bottle of our Gift of the Magi.

Bottle from fordest. Pours dark/amber copper color with nice off white head. Good head retention. toasted malt and spiced aroma at first but after a moment could pick up some brett. Could not pick up any brett in the flavors but the same toasted malt with spices were there. thought could not tell which spices. Bitterness is somewhat pretty strong and mouth feel is smooth with carbonation that could be a tad higher. Overall it is well brewed but far from the Bière de garde I have tasetd so far. Thanks Sean!

’08 bottle. Very enjoyable. Aromas of vinegar, red fruits and caramel. Slightly sour taste, sugars, bit of funk--taste is really hard to describe, but good.

Surprisingly disappointed with this one. Pours a clear amber color with a thin white head. Aroma of spice, grain and yeast. Flavor is lots of grain, yeast, and spice. Almost hoppy bitter finish. Less bitter as it warmed.

Bottle split with tony. Pours a dark murky brown body with a good portion of sediment. Aroma is spice, maybe cinnamon; as well as some herbal scent. Taste is very well balanced as per usual with Lost Abbey. Flavors of malt, spice, sugar, subtle complexity - and of course brilliant alcohol masking... 10%????

Awesome brew. The pour is a copper haze. Good head. Little lacing. The aroma has some hints of cinnamon. There is also hints of alcohol, malts, and parsley. Very nice. The flavor hides the 10% ABV. Enjoyed with my friend James, my personal beer god.

Draft at Drafting Room Exton. Poured cloudy brown in color with a hefty beige head that left little to no lacing on the glass. Aroma of doughy yeast, light hops, spices. Tastes of toasted malts, spices, toffee, with a little bit of a warm alcohol finish.

Nice red/golden Rose colour, with a nice white head and good lacing. Smells like raisins and caramel. Caramel, spice, toasty grains and bready yeast at first followed by sour apples. I really like this one!
