Style: Belgian Strong Ale

Bottled. Thx marsiblursi. Amber with a small, white head. Pretty sweet and malty aroma. Flavour from cedar and some light toffee.

750 ml bottle courtesy of PhillyBeer2112. Pour is clear orange golden with visible carbonation bubbles and a one inch cream white head. Aroma of apple sweet-sour, and some yeastiness. Taste is initially the apple sweetness, but gives way quickly to a more sticky, honey sweetness. The finish is a bit long and cloying. Alcohol heat is present throughout the entire flavor. This beer had some nice pieces, but the whole really didn’t come together too well. I do love that a new, smaller brewery is making a beer such as this - daring stuff. Thanks for sending this my way, Dan!

As others have mentioned, this was a very difficult cork to get open, I actually had my cork screw break off in the cork, had to pull it out with a wrench. No worries, it was an old cork screw.

750ML bottle courtesy of gunhaver. Plan for 10 minutes to even get this one open. Getting the cork cage off proved to be very difficult, the wire broke. Getting the cork out was a task as well, had to use a wine bottle opener. I"ve heard that the new bottles have better corks. Pours a hazy brown color with very little head that quickly disappears. Aroma of fruit, yeast, spices, and a little funkiness. Taste of fruit, malt, earthiness, a subtle sourness. Interesting brew, but not great.

750 ml bottle. Cork broke. Pours bright gold with no head. Nose of a bit stale hops, spices, a bit of funkiness. Tastes of spices, old hops (??), a bit of malt background and a bit sweet. Not the freshest beer (got in a trade). 8% alcohol is well hidden and never really surfaces. Need to share this bottle instead of drinking it alone. Good try-I like my strong ales a bit dryer-this was a bit chewy and cloying though.

Bottle shared courtesy of weeare138. Poured a deeper and cloudy amberish color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of fruitiness, yeast, some spices, and a littel eathy. Tastes of fruitiness, yeast, apples, pears, and earthy.

Poured a hazy brown color with a large, off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel malts, tropical fruits, light citrus, nuts, and light wood. Taste was equally fruity, pears, plums, apricot, light caramel, nuts, and a bit of alcohol in the finish.

Pours a light amber color with a white head. Aroma is malty, grainy, pear, and earthy hops. Flavor is malty, pear, and a earthy bitter finish.
