The pour reveals a cloudy amber color with a thin white head. The aroma is complex and very seductive, malt, spices, fruits and funk tingle my nostrils. The flavor is also very nice, a good, solid malt is joined by fruits, spices and funk, the funk doesn’t take all the place in the mouth, it’s well moderate, there’s also some sweetness. The body is medium with a nice creamy texture and the carbonation is soft. This is the first beer I sample from this brewery and I’m highly impressed.

Aug 30, 2008 I just don’t understand, I have had this beer 3 times now, three separate bottles and they have bee all bad. And its not that I just don’t like it, I am pretty sure its the damn DMS or maybe its some nasty phenols (but I think its DMS), either way all three bottles have had it and I know I can’t be the only picking it up. Its there and its in the way. Otherwise looks fine, dark amber and cloudy.

Aug 22, 2008 Cloudy orange pour with creamy white tight head and lace. Nose of light bronw sugar and light clove. Flavor mirrors aroma. Medium bodied with good mouthfeel and carbonation. Pretty nice

Aug 16, 2008 Bottle from the kind generosity of gueuze_is_god. Jeez, this is good. Bright hazy amber pour with one-finger off-white head that dies down to almost nothing. Nose deftly combines tart and malty... think shortbread cookies with apricot jelly. A sly metallic soapy note in there as well, but it doesn’t do much damage--comes across more floral. Sour woody/earthy notes as well. Really lovely aroma. More fruit and malt on the tongue, and a nice mouthfeel even with the lack of head. I really like this beer.

Jul 26, 2008 Draught at Saint Louis Brewery Schlafly. Pours hazy amber with an average, fizzy, off-white head, somewhat lasting with good lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (cookie, caramel, toffee), average hops (flowers, herbs), average yeast (barnyard, earth) with notes of date and apple. Medium bodied, sticky texture, average carbonation, and a chalky finish. Average duration, moderate sweetness, light acidity and bitterness.
