Jan 13, 2009 Bottle. Pours bright orange amber with an off white head. The aroma is spicy and yeasty with some fruity banana. The flavor has some nice fruity esters, with nutmeg, cardamom, and other spices, and warms as it goes down. Nice. although I expected from the V-12 for this to be along the lines of an Abt/Quad, but it’s not. Still good though.

Jan 10, 2009 Notes from a tasting a couple months back.
Pours a sort of cloudy blonde. Aroma of floaral hops and faint alcohol, mild sugary sweetness.
Flavor is more exciting, Generally spicy with cinnamon notes. This is lightly sweet with a decent hop balance. Mouthfeel is silky with a minimal alcohol flavor.

Jan 3, 2009 Bottled in APR 07. Pours a clear amber. Off-white head quickly dissipates leaving a bit of lace around the outside of the glass. Big fruity aroma. Dark fruit and spice in the mouth. The alcohol makes its presence known but is not unpleasant.

Dec 14, 2008 Updated: Jan 12, 2009Smells like apple cider on a hot summer day. Tastes like a mix of that cider, and the smell from a mountain pass in the middle of summer. A perfect themed Belgian Ale

Oct 31, 2008 Medium brown orange color with a white head. Citrus aroma, caramel, and some yeast. Medium body with alot going on. Alcohol is very present and lends alot of heat to the beer. Want to age some to see what happens.
