Commercial Description:
One of our historic recipes. The character of this ale lies in the complexity of the subtle taste when it first passes your lips. In the medium long finish, the veteran beer taster will clearly identify the roasted malts and the snappy European Hersbrucker hops. 5.5% alcohol by volume.

The best of their offerings. But I still feel that it is lighter and less assertive than others in it’s class. Rich aromas of burnt sugar, curacao orange and raisens, but a thinner body, less malt and hop bitterness than it should have had. head fell quickly and didn’t lace the glass at all. Suffers the most from St. S’s too cold servings. At 50 degrees this would be a much better beer than it is at 38 degrees.

Not quite up there with their Belgian brethern peers. Could it be the FL swamp water? ;-) Best of the sampled lot IMHO. Medium of body, flavor & alcohol content meaning not as much yeast in the aroma or palate, solidly built yet not too heavy and not quite as big. Overall an enjoyable ale at a unique place.

First thing that came to mind, very roasty, nutty, chocolatey, and caramel, good beer best of the 4 I had, dark brown with slight red tint to it, tan head.

Brown Sugar baby! This beer smells like warm brown sugar and spices. Smell is excellent. One of the best smelling beers you can buy in Florida I’ll wager. Dark mahagonay color with a firm two finger thick tan head. Sweet brown sugar and all spice flavors with a nice malt and yeast backbone. An excellent beer that suffers only a thin palate, but is otherwise exemplary.

Clear, dark red-brown body with creamy tan head. Aroma is moderately sweet, candi sugar, caramel, raisin, anise. Taste is moderately sweet, candi sugar, anise, caramel, raisin, faint herbal, finishes a bit astringent. Watery light-medium body.
