jason (1620), Easton, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 15, 2007 750ml Bottle batch #14. Aroma is of apple sauce, bananas, mangoes, cloves, spices. Poured a dark, clear red body with a decent size head that stayed. Moderate carbonation. Taste is of banana, cloves , spices, yeast, passion fruit. Smooth. Very drinkable. jujubeast6000 (772), Houston, Texas, USA Jan 15, 2007 750mL bottle: Pours a cloudy brownish/dark tannish color, light brown medium sized head. Small bubbles, quickly diminishing. Very floral aroma, spices of corriander, some mild malts, pretty strong aroma. Malty spicy taste, taste of flowers, same spice as aroma (corriander?) Aftertaste of some spices, but milder, not overpowering. Nice spiced beer. Even better as it warms up. detroiter (958), Euphoria, Minnesota, USA Jan 13, 2007 Pours slightly hazy orange-brown color with a HUGE glob of thick tan foam. Decent lacing. Mild raisins and sweet bready malt in the aroma.
More bready malt in the taste up front. Quite sweet and delicious. A little bit of oak and dry tart cherry in the aftertaste. Dry and alcoholic in the finish, with nutmeg and some light cinnamon is in there too. Now some raisins and maybe some spicy-peppery hops. Medium body and full carbonation.
750 ml bottle. Batch #5. holdenn (1432), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jan 10, 2007 750 ml. batch #12. Cloudy orange color with a small white head. Yeasty sweet aromas of orange peel, citrus, and corriander. Carbonated on my tongue a little spicy on the tip but fades to a creaminess, sweet orange peel, pear, citrus, and corriander with a dry finish. Overall, pretty decent though nothing too great. bgburdman9 (822), Columbus, Ohio, USA Jan 7, 2007 Batch #9. Courtesy of mikemac at the oak cafe. Pours a goldish amber color with a thin head. Aroma was a little spicy with some belgian and clovey aroma. Flavor was a little sweet easy on the tongue. I got a slight medicinal taste in this but it didnt hurt the taste that much. Bubbly on the tongue. hopslovin (180), Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA Jan 6, 2007 Dark Amber pour, large foamy off-white head that lasts. Spice aroma. Taste is a bit chalky, with a hint of spice. Not much in the finish. Enjoyable, but not outstanding. TheBeerOrg (1563), Kentucky, USA Jan 5, 2007 Pours dark golden, partially opaque, with a mostly receding wispy off-white head. Aroma of candied malt, spicy yeast, clove and honey. Taste is fruity and spicy, a nice mix of esters and phenols. Description is right on, there is a hint of licorice, with some toffee and candy notes. Mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with soft carbonation. Quite nice, I want more from this brewery! RCL (1443), Waltham, Massachusetts, USA Jan 4, 2007 A pleasant beer, if not tremendously exciting. Spices and a hint of fruitiness on the nose but the flavor turns out to be a bit thin.
