Dec 31, 2007 750 ml. Batch 12. Sweet and spicy, a tasty and highly drinkable Belgian strong ale. Too bad the texture is so watery, quite unlike the velvety mouthfeel associated with Allagash beers. Perhaps this is a result of the age on the beer. Beautiful hazy amber body below a frothy, off-white head. The aroma is malty with notes of cookie and caramel, spicy with notes of coriander, yeasty with slight notes of cobweb. There is also a hint of lemon and honey in addition to a floral scent. The flavor is moderately sweet, moderately acidic and lightly bitter. Thin to medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Dry finish that lasted. Despite the disappointing palate, this is still a nicely crafted beer.

Dec 26, 2007 Updated: Feb 10, 2008Pours a bright ruby-orange with a thick, billowing head. The head does drop pretty rapidly leaving a thin ring and plenty of lacing. The pleasant aroma of bananas and yeast gave a hint of the taste to come. The flavor is banana, clove and other spices. There’s a slight citrus tang along with a slightly sweet malt. The beer is quite carbonated and a good palate cleanser. The fruit and spice flavor was gentle, but was more than adequate to stand up to the strong flavors of the oyster casserole and the fresh minced horseradish with beef we served it with.

Dec 19, 2007 Aroma of sweet spices and fruits. Appears cloudy with a slightly off white fizzy head. Flavor typical of a belgian beer. Lots of spice present. Ok for a winter beer

Dec 9, 2007 Batch 15. Sweet honey, orange blossom, light brown sugar, and bubblegum. Mild citrus and fruity hops. Rich dark golden amber, with mild haze, topped with light lacing foamy head. Medium heavy body, with mild warming and smooth carbonation. Starts with tons of rich sweet malt, golden honey and orange blossom. Fruity fresh hoppy bitterness to start, with light bubblegum chalky finish. Well-balanced with a bit of yeast character. Nice strong ale, and not overpoweringly sweet.
