Thanks to Tony at Oldsmar Tap House for this: Amber-orange effervescent pour on this one. Aroma is candi sugars, fresh apple, a touch of pear. Flavor is slightly sour, mostly sweet with crisp fruit throughout, nice finish non-indicative of ABV. Very nicely done.

750ml from my Secret Santa, tytoanderso - thanks, Tyler!! Very cloudy orange pour is quite inviting, as is the fast rising head. Very buttery and yeasty aroma recalls Heavyweight’s Biere de Arte (and I don’t think it’s diacetyl). Slightly sour and musty in the nose too, and there’s a subdued sour taste along with some spice and malts. Seems more like a variation on a biere de garde than a strong, but that’s quibbling. This is quite enjoyable.

Thanks to durhambeer. Pours a ruddy ruby orange with a two finger creamy orange head. The nose is sweet, apples, cinnamon, apple sauce, sweet spices. Nice fruity aroma. The flavor is very fruity, lots of sweet spice, cinnamon and nutmeg, apple, lightly warming alcohol, apple cider, has a lite tartness. Nice mouthfeel, finishes sweet and warm.

The color was hazy deep amber brown. The head was foamy, off-white, and creamy. The aroma was very spicy, sweet, some hops, and malty. The flavor was spice, jello, dark fuit, and raisin. The palate was medium-bodied. The finish was warm and spicy.

750 ml. bottle, corked and caged, from Bottle Trek. The cork put a dent in the ceiling. The foam tried to escape the bottle. Hazy amberish color with a tan head that went up and down quite quickly. Aromas of cola, raisins, treacle, and light stone fruits. Medium plus body with creamy carbonation. Flavor matches the aroma. This stuff is really complex. I get a bit of chocolate towards the finish. Think there’s a lot of sugar, but it’s not sticky sweet. It’s not bitter, but there seems to be spice that offsets the sugar. It’s really good ale. I just had Fantome Black Ghost, and truly I think this is "better". MIght feel different on another day. Or not. Or to put it another way, who are these guys?
