Apr 22, 2009 Reddish orange pour. Highly carbonated. Aroma of hops and spice. Taste is still spicy but is in no way harsh. Easy finish. Higher ABV is not felt. Nice mix of two different beers.

Apr 20, 2009 22oz. Batch 2. Pour is hazy copper with small white head. Aromas of candy, sweet fruit, and slight alcohol. Flavor is well balanced with caramel, sweet malts, candied fruit, and warming alcohol. Decent and enjoyable.

Apr 18, 2009 Batch #3. Wow, what a good brew! Pours a darker golden amber color with a white head. Aroma is banana, wheat, other fruits, and a touch of spice. Flavor is extremely complex, nice malty and yeasty flavor throughout.

Apr 18, 2009 Pours a yellow amber color. Quite fruity, banana, citrus, peach, and hints of dark fruit, with some spiciness. Quite marginal in my opinion.

Apr 18, 2009 Bomber. Pours dark orange/amber with a small head. Aroma is of dark fruit, spice, and alcohol. Flavor has same dark fruit component as aroma, along with same mixed chocolate and nutmeg. Finishes with warming alcohol. Overall, I found this beer to get too cloyingly sweet when it warmed. There is just not enough complexity to withstand the onslaught of sweet fruit.

Apr 15, 2009 Strong yeasty, grainy, banana ester aroma, with even a wheat tang. Golden in color, nicely conditioned. Flavors are strong, not subtle, of some ripe fruit (peach, banana) smeared over some pungent graininess, almost like rye and whole wheat. Raw flavors, strong alcohol presence for 8.7%. I’ve had Batch 1 a couple of times and now Batch 3; this beer could settle down a bit perhaps. Good but not great.

Apr 14, 2009 Pours with half finger head and is clear, but has sediment and decent lacing. Smells of alcohol, yeast, bananas and cinnamon. Has very nice mouthfeel and decent complexity in the initial taste with notes of alcohol. Finishes clean, but with subtle notes of flavor. It is good, and exceptionally drinkable.

Apr 13, 2009 Bottle. Poured a hazy orange with very thin white head. Aroma is strong with bread, yeast, and wheat with notes of banana, spice, dark fruits, and a little bit of citrus. The flavor is about the same, but hops kind of stand out when it hits the pallet. Carbonation is a little high, but that’s what I expect from a Belgian-style ale. The finish is bitter and a little dry. I enjoyed this beer.
