axilla (942), New Providence, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 13, 2008 Poured a somewhat hazy red/brown color with a nice off-white foamy head. The aroma is big honey with some sweet grains and spices. The flaovr was mostly dominated by sweet honey, with some pretty nice farmhouse notes, dark fruits and spices with a bitey finish. I was quite surprised by this one. Miver (384), WillowStreet, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 16, 2008 On draft at Malvern location. Poured a copper color with a beige head. Aroma was sweet with honey and a tad spicy. Taste was of spices, candy sugar, honey, with a touch of farmhouse yeast present. The finish was quite a bit spicy and showed the alcohol a little. egajdzis (2963), Terrapin, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 11, 2008 Poured a lightly hazy dark amber color with a medium sized, off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of sweet honey, farmhouse, light spices, hay, and alcohol. Taste was equally sweet, with more spices, honey, caramel malts, dry yeast, and a rather strong alcohol burn. Interesting take on a biere de garde, I kinda liked it. pineypower (863), Pine Barrens, New Jersey, USA Jan 19, 2008 Tap at Malvern. Pours out a nice reddish amber/copper color with a small white head. Aroma is sweet with slight spice and fruit. Flavor is complex, nice full mouthfeel, honey with some spice, fruit, yeast, some caramel and a dry alcoholic finish. I liked it TomDecapolis (2407), Skippack, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 9, 2008 On tap at Malvern location. Pours a hazy deeper amber with some golden notes and medium bubbly/foamy off white head that left some lacing. Aroma of malty sweet grains, honey, some light spicing, Cheerios, yeast and a touch of some dark fruits. Flavor of raisins, some dark fruits, candi sugar, Belgian fruity esters, some various spices, honey and a touch of alcohol…but kind of hard to pinpoint.
