Thanks so much to SoLan for sharing this. Muddy brown, giant tan head. Nose is cherry pie brett, brighter fruits, some caramel. Flavor is cherry pie brett, yeast, quite tart. Caramel/cocoa hides in there, some tea. More bitterness than the other T Ij beers but also more fruit.

Dry, chalky aroma with strong molasses notes. Served in a semi-transparent plastic cup. Opaque. Dark brown. Off-white head. Very good Belgian strong ale flavor. Wonderful, actually. Would buy again.

Pours a four finger light tan head that fades slowly leaving some lace. Cloudy amber color. Medium carbonation and medium-heavy bodied. Slight malty nose. Flavor is sweet almost candy like but enough tartness keeps it balanced. Sweet piney finish. High ABV is not noticeable. Pricey at $6.20 for a 330ml bottle from Tully’s Beer and Wine Wells, ME.

Small light tan head, good retention, little to no lace. Murky brown color, not a very pretty brew. Nose is malty, caramel along with dark fruits, raisins and a touch doughy. Body is med/full, creamy with a sprightly carbonation.. A goodly amount of medium sweet malt flavors, plums a light butteryness, cooky dough and sugar wafers. Finish is medium sweet, bready. Nifty little brew.
