BrewDad (1535), Olympia, Washington, USA Sep 29, 2006 A deep rich reddish color with a light head. Poured in a correct glass this Belgian nectar was awesome. The High alcohol did not take from the taste and this was a great easy to drink after dinner for desert brew. Great Job. HumbertHumbert (76), Denver, Colorado, USA Aug 20, 2006 Batch One - bottle cellared for at least 2 years. After popping the cork, the aroma had a slightly metallic but still yeasty edge. Amazing distinction between the aroma and flavor - almost like dinking two different beers. Deep honey flavor with a touch of hop balance and a long bread-dough finish. Nice hints of Jumex tropical nectars. Remarkably drinkable - wish I’d had more of these. A great beer for a stormy Colorado weekend. jcwattsrugger (3757), Florida and, New Jersey, USA Sep 29, 2005 on tap-pours a light tan head. Color is slightly hazy yellow. Aroma is malt, sweet. Taste follows. Little carbonation. Not to my taste. Brock_Landers (714), Panama City, Florida, USA Mar 22, 2005 750 ml bottle (Batch 1), from Coal Trains in CO Springs. Pours a murky brownish gold...big white head. Lotsa yeastiness in the nose with notes of sweet fruity malts. Taste is nice and clove spicy with some sharp hop bitterness. A little sweeter than I prefer, but still tastes good. Full mouthfeel, and finishes with a nice dry hop bitterness. We liked it, although it’s not the best example of the style we ever had. Crosling (1598), Loveland, Colorado, USA Mar 19, 2005 Draught @ Palmer Lake Brewing Company. Brownish Gold. Dark in color for the style, but i’m not stylistic when it comes to beer, so I don’t care. Lovely, yeasty, fruity aroma with hints of bubble gum, banana, pear and clove. Spicy, citrusy, phenolic and very fruity with notes of bubble gum and clove. An enjoyable brew.
