On tap at Downtown Johnny Brown’s in SD. Pours amber brown with a fleeting white thin head. This beer defines chewy. It damn near numbs the mouth when you drink it. I get percimmons as a dominant flavor. Ground ripened percimmons after an October frost. Prunes, plums, and raisins. Sweet, not tart. Drying bitterness. UPDATE 3/2008: In the bottle from John’s Market in Portland. Looks gorgeous in the tulip. Smooth to drink and rich with all the same complexities indicated above. Still a solid classic.

Mar 8, 2010 Bottle 75cl. @ home.
Light unclear medium red orange - amber color with a small, fizzy, virtually none lacing, fully diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is moderate to heavy malty, caramel, vintage, dried berry, prune, light chocolate, moderate yeasty. Flavor is light heavy sweet and bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft to flat, finish feel is light to moderate alcoholic. [20100208]

Overall Impression:
This was another fairly stellar beer from AleSmith. Pours a dark red-brown color. Has a nice mix of flavors. There is a lots of stuff going on in this one. A lot of yeasty flavors, caramel, fruits, chocolate, hops, etc. Just a lot of stuff. Really nice brew, AleSmith has yet to really disappoint me.

Feb 27, 2010 Really nice Belgian--you’ll never suspect the ABV until you’ve finished the bottle! Pours a transparent red/deep tan. Nose of candy, apples, and other fruit (maybe strawberry?). Very bubbly, as the carbonation tickles the roof of your mouth. Flavor matches the nose, with a bit of sourness, and some yeasty funk. Very crisp and refreshing. Definitely a beer to celebrate with. Alesmith is one of my favorite finds of 2009.

Feb 13, 2010 A complex sweet yeasty beast. I’m not sure what to think about this one. It hides the alcohol well, but what do I taste? Certainly plenty of sugary malt, but what else? I’m not sure that it is interestingly enough beyond being a high gravity beer.
