markwise (2909) - North of Tampa, Florida, USA - JAN 31, 2012
On draft at Prado location. Pours a hazy brown with an off-white head. Nose is pepper, sage, cardamom, cinnamon, and malt with some yeast esters. Flavor is similar- spicy beer, and not with heat. Flavor shows off the malts and quickly follows them with spices. Play pick the spices! It’s fun. Medium in body and nice beer overall.

On tap at brewpub. Poured deep amberish brown with a small beige head. Aroma of spice, fruits - banana & dark fruits -, and sweet malt. Taste is simlarly fruity and malty, with a good bit of belgian spice. Finish is sticky and smooth. Body is lightly carbonated and full. Overall, a nice brew from the best of the 5 Seasons brewpubs.
