Jun 8, 2005 Updated: Jun 9, 2005Bottled. Nice hazy orange with big off white head that was quite persistent. Very spiced nose with other lighter fruits, some apple maybe. Flavors included peppery alcohol, nice spices like ginger and corriander. Very smooth mouthfeel.

Jun 4, 2005 Pours a hazy deep copper with a huge rocky ivory/light tan head. Very lacy, lots of tiny intricate lacing up and down the glass. Smell is very yeasty and spicy. Sour apple and just a bit sour overall.
The taste is just fantastic. Sweet and spicy (ginger, peppery). yeasty with sour plum and sweet pear playing off each other. Bready. Lightly smoky with hints of peppercorn. almost reminds me of smoked salmon way back there is the flavor profile. Some alcohol in the finish as it warms. Very creamy in the mouth then bites a bit down the throat. But goes down so smooth. I spent all night getting to know this one and I am just so happy I’ve got two more in the "cellar". Grab it if you can.

May 28, 2005 This should be enjoyed in the fall. Pours an autumnal firey orange. Taste: sweet and tart apples with spearmint on the nose. Mouthfeel is full and lush. This is a belgian that is sweet without being cloying and has very mature fruit notes.

May 26, 2005 Dark orange with an off white head. Aroma: Honey, really sweet fruit, some sort of oragne. Cinamon taste, quite spicey, great flavor. Oh so good. Beyond good. Too drunk to rate this biotch! Like anchor merry christ, but smoother, and different. Let me go mikeben and enjoy this. With the cinamon stuff it almost tastes like a holiiday beer.
