nqualls (575), Tennessee, USA Sep 14, 2008 On draught at the taproom. Poured a hazy brown color with a small tan head. Aroma of spices and sweet malt. Flavor was sweet with spices and dark fruits. Really liked this brew. andyhite (276), Murfreesboro, Tennessee, USA Aug 25, 2008 filled my growler with this today. this is a sweeter ale, with what i can gather, has some spices present as well as good fruit. the appearance is a bit of a cloudy one.with aromas reflecting my overall idea of the brew. it’s different in comparison to that which Yazoo usually does, but this is why i like them. the flavor is not overwhelmingly Belgian, but it definitely has its similarities. the palate is similar to n’ice chouffe, with similar fruit flavors, malts, and spices going on. it’s definitely tasty, and i can’t wait to see what’s next. nonetheless, i enjoy this creation. dball1869 (16), nashville, Tennessee, USA Mar 26, 2007 limited offering. had at saucer and @ beyond the edge. dark fruit, slightly roasty. one of the best they have made. illinismitty (1476), Nashville, Tennessee, USA Feb 18, 2007 Draft at Flying Saucer. Pours muddy dark brown with a nice frothy beige head. Earthy flavors of dark fruit, mild roast, and brown sugar with a subtle bitterness to balance it out. Very interesting take on a Belgian Brown. I was with my wife so I did not take notes. But this was very good and..... this baby is local. arjoseph (558), Chicago, Illinois, USA Feb 5, 2007 On tap into pint, Flying Saucer (Nashville). It’s nice to finally get a Yazoo seasonal. This *is* a sight better than the normal offerings, but not 4.5 better. Opaque dark brown in the glass with a creamy tan head that lasts as a thick creamy dusting on top; lacing is oily and dense, sliding easily on the side without gaps. First impressions: roasty bitter and dry finish is salty on the sides and lip-smacking good; hard to tell (for me, at least) whether this is mostly roasted malt or some combo of roast and hops achieving it; whatever it is, it’s good. Middle is grainy like dark maize, reminds me of a darker maibock crossed with an oktoberfest in the way it tastes like autumn. Body is medium to full. It doesn’t remind me of Belgium at all (I don’t remember any Belgian beers tasting like this), but whatever; it’s good.
