Apr 12, 2006 Pours with an aggressive greyish-tan head and a clear reddish-brown color. Distinct herbal aroma with wood and an interesting cured meat note. Almost smells like a good deli sandwich. Bitter herb (arugula) and smoked meat flavor dominate with fairly up-front hops and a slightly dry, bitter finish. Smokiness was distinct but not distracting.

Mar 17, 2006 Brown with a thick head. Taste is of dark fruit with a yeasty spice note. Good example of the style. Wish I had more access to New Belgium’s offerings.

Mar 13, 2006 Poured into my Delirium Tremens tupil glass. Very nice aroma. Dark dried fruit (maybe cherries), dark sugars, caramalts, even maybe so ripe fruits as it warms a bit more. Dense reddish brown with a fair amount of head. Rich and full of flavor. Raisins, light clove-ish-ness for the yeast, Very sweet upfront, but lots of hop bitterness to finish off the experience. Alcohol is evident, but it does not take away from the overall experience. On of New Belgium’s better regular offerings.
