bottle by way of the dirty_martini...great packaging reminds me of the burgundy grand crus... gushes out to reveal a cloudy opaque almost black woody brown. it’s topped by a tan head which lasts exactly fourteen seconds before becoming just visible carbonation. aromas of musty wheat, wet burlap sack, grain, black raisins and other sweet dark fruits, spice, lots of floral hops (and flowers, i guess) and a light smoky char akin to a sweet smelling campfire. flavor is strange as it doesn’t taste as good as it smells... roasty grain, some banana, lemon, tartness from CO2, flowers and floral hops and smoke in the aftertaste. light body with an over carbonated prickly mouth feel. interesting but weird... kinda reminds me of papago’s bridalweisse only not as good.

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.

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.

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.

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.
