Sep 18, 2005 On tap at the Map room. Peach, apple, caramel malt and some spices in the aroma. Golden copper with a thin white head. Sweet, slight hint of pepper and something else I couln’t figure out. Quick finish with some more of that frutiness that was in the aroma. Light body, dry finish.

Sep 4, 2005 750ml Batch 10 Bottle: Cork popping leaves an interesting pattern on my ceiling; Spicy coriander and flowery hop aroma and a bit medicinal; honey and light fruit (apple, pear) notes; cloudy body and not alot of lacing in a clean glass; sweet, woody and yeasty, slightly dry finish and an oily, smooth palate, peppery spiciness that’s not too much; very good, but lacks some complexity one would expect in a Grand Cru; well balanced and not too spiced for me. It has plenty of flavor and charactor without the alcoholic strength, which is just fine.

Aug 27, 2005 Batch 9: Poured a murky amber with sizeable white foamy head. Aroma is lots of spicy yeast mixed with some fruit sweetness and anise. Taste is a lot of yeast, mixed with some pepper notes, nutmeg, and some other spices. Vanilla is also present in the fisnih. Nice malt backbone. Nice complexity. A good beer for a cold night.

Aug 26, 2005 Poured hazy orange with a sizable white head. Aroma was fruity with orange and citrus. I picked up some vanilla and toffee in the taste which I liked. Very nice palate with orange and vanilla. I’m glad I still have the rest of the bottle to finish.

Aug 23, 2005 22 oz. Batch 9, 2005. Nice hazy amber color, with a dense head. Somewhat sweet malty flavor. Seems to get more fruit and spice undertones as the bottle wears on. Could finish a tad cleaner. Really enjoy the complexity. Overall an excellent brew.

Aug 22, 2005 Bomber, Batch 9: Very nutty, woodsy, too much alcohol in the nose. Flavor is fruit spice with a powerful alcohol bite at first, but it does mellow to showcase some very nice yeast spice. Thick and velvety mouthfeel.
