Bottle courtesy of jw347 poured into a snifter. After nearly putting a hole in the ceiling with the cork, this one poured a murky caramel brown with orange hints around the edges. The huge tan head lingers as a cap for the duration and leaves very good lacing. The aroma is an interesting mix of Belgian yeast, candi sugar and a bit of tartness. There was a bit spices and some dark fruits as well. The taste was a bit sweeter than the aroma with candi sugar, caramel and dark fruits dominating with that same fruit tartness mixing in as well. Some interesting tastes going on, but a little out of balance for me. Lots of carbonation in the mouthfeel and its on the lighter side of things with a lot of sticky sweetness. This is my first Saint Somewhere brew and its good to see a brewery in FL making such interesting beer. That said, this one was only OK and Im definitely looking for more from my next brew from them.

750ml bottle thanks to badbeer. Pours cloudy amber with a moderate sized, sticky looking white head, good lace. Smells fruity and spicy and yeasty. Pretty sweet. Tastes sweet and yeasty with lots of fruit flavors, plums, raisins and some red fruits, raspberries maybe. Some spicy yeasty bread flavors as well. Medium body, active carbonation. Pretty good.

750ML Bottle-Trade w/daknole-Hazy copper color w/amoderate white rocky head. Sweet malted aroma. Sweet malt flavor w/traces of candied sugar, yeast, dread dough, caramel & some dark fruit. Very smooth & easy to drink, alcohol was very well hidden but this brew had some kick to it. Thanks Dakine, enjoyed both of these brews immensely-Exlcamation Point
