Snojerk321 (1021), San Diego, California, USA Oct 10, 2008 750ml bottle from South bay Drugs. Pours a dark cloudy brown with a big beige head. Faint aromas of wheat, Belgian yeast and some spice. Flavor was lightly spiced with yeast and a touch of hops. Beer was not as good as expected, not bad, and very drinkable. AgentSteve (852), SF Bay Area, California, USA Oct 9, 2008 Pours thin, almost black with a light tan head. The nose is sweet wheat and spice with some floral notes. The flavor is quite the same with a touch of a brown sugar like influence along with some coffee in the finish. (?) A little thin in the body. BeerandBlues2 (2514), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA Oct 6, 2008 Bottle. Pours, well gushes, brown with an average, frothy, light brown head, mostly lasting with fair lacing. It took this one a few minutes to settle down after opening. Aroma is heavy malt (bread, straw), average hops (flowers, grass, herbs), average yeast (barnyard, earth) with notes of plum, cherry, and wood. Medium bodied, sticky texture, lively carbonation, and a chalky finish. Average duration, light sweetness, acidity, and bitterness. kegbear (103), Orange, California, USA Oct 3, 2008 Tap at The Bruery. This reminds me of a Belgian Wit with some roasted malty tastes. Corriander, chamomile and spice flavor along with the light roasted malt. Slight bitter finish. I liked this a lot. Dickinsonbeer (2550), Hoboken, New Jersey, USA Sep 30, 2008 For some reason this was one of my favorite beers from The bruery, but it may be pulled from the lineup. Pours a nice deep woody brown almost black with a nice fizzy carbonation and nice look overall. Aroma is dark burnt toasty, nutty, herbal phenolic- with ltos of cgood phenolicy spicy yeast, citrusy and the chamomile is definitely kept in check since I usually dont like chamomile too much. Good full malty flavor without getting too thick or sweet- lots of black malts, lgith roast, good chocolate character and a nice toastiness to go alont with the earthy herbs and spcies thrown in. Clean and dry finish is nice as well.
