Bottle at the Fat Belgian. Reddish-orange with a moderate, lingering head. Aroma and flavour both hold notes of sweet malt, caramel and spice (clove, cinnamon). Body is on the thin side. Alright, but I’d hoped for a little more character.

Dark amber with a huge and creamy head. The aroma has notes of caramel and spice. The mouth feel is carbonated, and I don’t think it’s becoming in this beer. The flavour is slightly sweet with notes of caramel, clove, coriander and candy sugar, and the finish is dry/bitter.

11.2 oz bottle pours a dull yet clear hue of pure copper with huge tan head. The aroma has big English Noble hoppiness some soft spices and an unmistakable honey note. The flavor seems to center around honey and then there’s tart grapes, a dash of sweet malts and dark fruitiness rounding it out. After drinking my way about half way through I started to notice a semi sweet caramel flavor that added a really nice touch.

Bottle from argo0. Clear amber body with a medium sized off-white head. The aroma is cherry, golden raisins, bread and honey. The flavor is mildly sweet, light spice, light tartness with caramel, candi sugar, berries, banana and bread. Medium body with soft carbonation and slightly bitter and tart finish. Pleasant.

Bottle from Bev Mo La Mesa. I was expecting a bit more. Poured a deep golen color with a massive head. Had almost a sour note to it......not a big fan.

Hazy bronze/amber with a fizzy, 3cm, light tan head that expires quickly. Simple brew. Dark berries, pine trees, toasty malt, and some winter spice. Dry finish. Medium body, balanced. Too light on the palate. Unimpressive.
