Feb 2, 2008 Deep golden color with a thick white head. Not really much in the nose, but you can detect some spice and definitely yeast. The cork added to the aroma, don’t know if that was a positive? Dry in the mouth with notes of pear and spice. Better than expected

Jan 24, 2008 Color of dark straw with a good, fluffy head. Nose is a little weak, but I’m getting some spices and belgian yeast. The flavor is a litle dry, but in a really good way. Balanced between traditional flavors, banana, cloves and sugar, and some pinot gris and a little oaky suggestions. Dry, but not too thin. Good beer.

Jan 20, 2008 Just uncorked a bottle of this great beer and I’m not disappointed in the least. I was in the mood for a new, great winter beer to consume tonight and this one makes me happy. Tastes very nice, and I’ll be adding this to my list of damn good winter beers.

Jan 4, 2008 750 ml bottle (batch 16) - dark orange and slightly hazy w/ considerable carbonation; massive head from a bad pour that took 10 mins. to settle; nose is all rich spice; creamy texture at first becoming thin and crisp; smooth spice flavors are not overwhelming

Jan 1, 2008 The 750 ml bottle from batch 16 poured a cloudy ruby orange with a white billowy head. Aromas of Bananas and Belgium yeast along with a complement of spices filled my nose. This ale had a nice clean mouth feel with a dry finish. The flavors of this one was surely a surprise for a grand cru it was a lot more bitter than I expected for the style. The hops and citrus flavors were very pronounced with a sweetness lightly coming thru towards the finish. This is really interesting brew but I have had much better grand cru’s especially in this price range .I’ll finish this one but won’t be looking for more.
