Scouser (39), Pennsylvania, USA Sep 9, 2009 yeasty/malty almost farmyard aroma. Nice dark reddish brown colour. raisin malty flavor. Very average nothing to speak off. DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 3, 2009 Draft at Craft. Hazy ruddy brown pour with off-white head. Tastes bready malty, with some brown sugar, yeasty spice, banana, raisin, and red wine grape notes. The nose was malty, with a hefty fruit and some fig, spice, and gingerbread notes. decaturstevo (1971), decatur, Tennessee, USA Jun 23, 2009 Light brown pour with a bubbly white head and lace. Light brown sugar and breadiness on the nose. Toasted malt, brown sugar flavors. A tad foamy and thin for me but very nice beer. jcwattsrugger (5223), Florida and, New Jersey, USA Jun 19, 2009 @Pilsner Petes East Coast Gathering-growler–pours an off white head and amber color. Aroma is medium malt, some yeast. Taste is medium malt, some yeast/herbal. Lacked some malt and sweet. Thanks Beerbill for sharing. CaptainCougar (5379), Rockville, Maryland, USA Jun 16, 2009 Bottle a few years old, sampled on 2/07/08: Pours a transparent amber orange with a clingy-lacing off-white head. Aroma of slightly oxidized biscuity toasted Belgian malt and some light fruity notes. Body starts semi-sweet with some vinous (overly-aged) notes and doughy yeast before a thinner, semi-dry and tart finish. argo0 (6861), Washington DC, USA Jun 3, 2009 (PPSG09, growler) Hazy chestnut body with small off-white head. Aroma is moderately sweet, caramel, candi sugar, light clove. Taste is moderately sweet, candi sugar, caramel, some clove, light toast. Medium-full body, somewhat sticky. beastiefan2k (1590), Lawrence (formely NYC), Kansas, USA Jun 3, 2009 Growler shared by Beerbill, thanks Bill, @ PilsnerPeter’s gathering. It has a glowing brown (yes it is possible) color with a thick head that never fades. Aroma is vegetal yet grainy. Its like the good buckwheat (ala their Abt) but with a weird bland yam or other root veg. Taste has less veg and more graininess but mainly its just watery black bread. It needs a little work. thenick (742), North Bellmore, New York, USA May 28, 2009 Tap @ Blind Tiger, Southampton event. Pours a deep ruby-brown with a small off-white head. Aroma is malt, dark fruit, slight nuts, and Belgian yeast. Taste is roughly the same with a wonderful sweetness coming throughout the beer. You could tell it wasn’t very high alcohol, and I liked it like that. This beer knows exactly what it is, and it doesn’t try to do anything more than deliver that experience well. I liked it.
