Bottle. Pours dark brown with a medium tan head. Aroma is brown sugar, raisins, caramel, some barnyard. Flavor is brown sugar, rasins, caramel, tobacco. Palate is medium bodied, medium to high carbonation, finished sweet. Pretty good brew.

Tampa, Fl. - Total Wines - 750 ml corked and caged bottle. Pours a dark orangeish amber with an initially rocky off white head that dminishes a bit halfway through. Aroma is a bit off with some funkiness to it - hard to place - overrpe prunes and a hint of bandaids. Grows on you and you get used to it. Flavor has some toffee, baked brown bread, raisins, pipe tobacco and hint of milk chocolate in the finish. Mouthfeel is thick and syrupy. Glad to see some decent brews coming out of Florida and it feels good to support a local brewer.

Hazy dark gold with a lightly off white head. Funky hay and sage. There is also some cake donuts. Taste of sweet almonds and ginger spice. There is a nice fruity canned peach note in the finish. Decent.

750 ml bottle corked and caged from my secret santa. i would have liked to hold onto this one for awhile but the cork looked ready to pop when i pulled it out of the box. pour beautiful hazy brown with a perfect tan head. perfect belgian ale appearance. aromas are subtle and are mostly yeast and alcohol but some funk there too. hmmm this isnt shaping up like i was expecting. flavour are quite nice. funky belgian dark fruits. actually a little sour in the mouth. quite interesting. i have to admit i didnt think this was going to be this good. scary drinkable. thanks santa!

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.
