Avery Collaboration Not Litigation

Shared with the boys for Cellar Reduction #3. Batch 2. Pours cloudy orange with fair white head. Sweet malty nose with a fruity bready yeastiness and alcohol notes. The alcohol is well masked in the flavor but still has a nice warming. Dark rum soaked fruits, candi sugar, yeast. Decent velvety body. I do like the mindset behind this beer.

Bottle with Butters and sixfootsix at the 3rd Cellar Reduction. Batch 2. Pours an off-white head that laces with a honeyed amber body. Smells of dark ripe fruit, malt, and yeast. Tastes the same. Good brew.

22 0z bottle batch 2 bottled 2/08 poured a murky dark amber color with a thin light tan head . aroma has sweet over ripe dark fruit, light yeast, chewy underlying malt, and candy sugar sweetness. mouth feel is a solid medium with low carbonation. flavor has loads of dark ripe fruit, rich complementing malt, high sweetness, and slightly funked fruited yeast. fairly hefty and rich but comes off smooth and well balanced.

Batch #2..Clear orange red coloured with an off white head. Fruity aroma of caramel, spices, hops and pine needles. Fruity flavour of spices, hops, pine needles and grape fruits.

Amber colored with a nice head. Sweet smell of raisins, toast and malt and strong fruity tastes.

Batch #2. Appearance: Opaque, mahogany-hued body with a very thin (oh no there it goes), white head. Smell: Sweet-smelling, fruity nose of raisins, stone fruits, and toasted malts layered with dark caramel sauce and candi sugar, as well as cloves and freshly-grated nutmeg. Taste: Toasted dark caramel maltiness with a sweet kick of candi sugar. Small dash of cocoa powder and gooey dark brown sugar. Meager hint of booze. Again, there’s a wide variety of fruits to be found, and I now feel healthier for having drank this beer. White grapes, green raisins, apricot. Spicy clove and earthy nutmeg component. Very minor sour yeastiness. Some final muted malt hints on the drying, warming finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-full body. Medium-plus carbonation. Very light stickiness to the overall mouthfeel. Drinkability: A fairly tasty and enjoyable beer made from one good beer, one so-so beer, one sweet story, and one dopey name.

i was expecting some strong belgian shit but it was so hoppy that it almost swayed more towards a really strong IPA... bitter but smooth with a lingering aftertaste

(Bottle, batch #2, at Pikkulintu, Helsinki, on 2009-01-27) Deep amber. Hazy. Small quickly disappearing white head. Raisin and fruitiness in aroma. Full bodied palate and dry with medium carbonation. Raisin, malts, bitterness, sweetness, light fruitiness and some chocolate in taste. Raisin and bitterness in aftertaste.
