Feb 19, 2008 bottle-Poured a nice orange-amber hue with a thin white head. Aroma was a mix of spicy citrus notes and a nice grassy barnyard quality. Flavor seemed to be mostly spices with some lingering fruit notes. Mild carbonation on the palate, but still easy to drink.

Feb 18, 2008 Tap @ Stone Winter Storm ’08: Poured a clear amber color with an off-white head. Spice forward aroma. Clove over malt. Caramel malt flavor with a good bit of spice. Too much in the aroma and flavor for my taste. That should age down though as the heavily spiced Dogwood Winter did.

Feb 17, 2008 Bottle (75 cl), thanks to marsiblursi. Hazy amber with medium off-white head. Spicy and caramelly with aniseed, nutmeg, old spice, tangerine and oranges. Medium bodied and smooth. Ok balance. Well done but really nothing special.

Feb 16, 2008 Had on tap at Brews Cafe. Pour was a deep copper color. Very nice aroma of citrus and cloves. Taste was of the same with yeast, and sweet malts thrown in. A very nice strong ale.

Feb 16, 2008 Updated: Feb 17, 2008(Bottle, thanks Degarth) Pours Copper amber with a creamy off white head. The aroma is fruity, light spicy, light yeasty and tiny hoppy with tones of citrus peel, ginger, cardamom, coriander, light floral, light herbal, mild caramel, pineapples, peach and pears. The flavour is citrus and mild spices up front with a sweet bready malt backbone. Medium sweet, light to medium bitter, light sourish and medium dry. The mouthfeel is well carbonated and clean. Citric aftertaste with a subtle yeast spiciness. Medium bodied.

Feb 12, 2008 Wow, almost like a hoopy belgian Tripel. I had a hard time drinking this beer, almost a buttery taste somewhere hidden in there. Very odd indeed, this will be a nifty little treat to taste in a few yearsI think, as I think this will be more like a THA.

Feb 10, 2008 22oz bottle. Deep, thick, amber-orange color. This one is heavily spiced, with lots of citrus and ginger flavors coming through. Also maintains a good farmhouse funk and rich Belgian yeast taste. A real quality beer. Strong pungent aftertaste. Reminiscent of great beers such as Stille Nacht in it’s quality sour and tangy notes. Great beer, one to stash in the cellar for sure.
