Jul 5, 2009 Tap at Spuyten Duyvil. Deep hazy brown colour. The aroma is quite fruity and spicy. A touch of bready aroma and a little bit of light yeastiness. Chewy and sweet with a bit of dustiness. Lightly husky with a touch of astringency and a bit of soft earthiness. Lightly spicy with a soft roastiness toward the back. A bit strange and most definitely not a biere de garde.

Jul 17, 2009 Draft @ Paradiso. Dark appearane, dunkel or dubbel-like in color. Toffee, nuts, cold coffee, some roast, Dunkel-like in nose and flavor. Bread/bran is present, yeast gives a strange lightness and pastiness to the body, doughy but not chewy. Not really anything close to biere de garde, more like a dunkel with Belgian yeast.

Jun 30, 2009 Draft at Craft. Pours deep caramel brownish with off-white head. Nose is yeasty spice, malty, brown sugary, florals. Tastes dark malty, with caramel, cacao, spicy yeast, molasses, and white pepper in the flavor. Complex and unique on the palate, and indeed unlike any bier de garde you have ever had the pleasure of drinking. Purists will go crying to their mommies, but this one has a uniqueness that breaks down the barriers between BDGs and dark malts.
