Oct 1, 2007 Thanks go to hopscotch for the bottle! After almost needing the jaws of life to extract the cork, this poured hazy coppery-orange with not much head sticking around. The aroma picked up sweet fruits and candi sugar.. softer with a bit of an orange twist to it. The flavor had sweet candi sugar, darker fruits, and orange zesty accents with dry, bready and spicy yeast notes and some alcohol warmth tailing off the sides.. felt just a tad empty at times, but otherwise very tasty. About medium-bodied with very good balance between the spicy yeast, sweet fruits, and alcohol warmth. Really well-made beer.

Oct 3, 2008 Served from 750 ml bottle during ABR ’08 in Minneapolis, MN. Pours a semi-hazy dark amber brew with a thick and lumpy off-white head that slowly dissipates. Aroma of tart fruit, some yeast, candi sugar and a mild barnyard funk. Taste is medium bodied with flavors of toasted biscuits, yeast, candi sugar, some tart apple and cotton candy. Finish is slightly tart with a lingering yeast and caramel aftertaste.

Feb 10, 2008 This one had a cuvee aroma and sour apples with big malting. A sipper. Easy drinker with understated carbonation.

Mar 19, 2008 Bottle (750ml - green, corked & caged). Shared with blankboy, garthicus and tupalev, blankboy’s bottle. Cloudy orange, small white head. Dry, old-wood aroma, dusty, musty and mildly funky, orange and lemon zest. Dry, spicy, orange zest and ultimately really sweet. Sticky, light body, light astringency and a bitter spicy finish. I liked it, didn’t love it.

May 26, 2008 Tasted at the May Northern California Beer Tasting. This Belgian Strong ale pours a deep orange gold color from a 750ml bottle. Large sized white foamy head. The aroma is fruity and sweet, with a touch of sour/tartness. Medium bodied BSA. The malts are fruity and sweet with some sourness. For some reason I am picking up some artificial banana flavors here as well. The tartness is nice, but I don’t think it should be there. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is sweet.

Feb 21, 2008 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.
