Rciesla (3515), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA May 20, 2008 Draft at capones and bottled as well. Pours a brown golden color. Aroma is sweet malt, some light fruit, malty, citrius maybe orange. Flavor is very malty, with a light taste of cherries, Immy (1912), Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA May 18, 2008 Bomber, batch #2, bottled Feb 2008. Hazy amber with a bubbly white head. Very yeasty, fruity nose, coriander and light dust. Sweet caramel and fruit flavors, lightly dry, mild coriander and yeast. Pleasant, soft but bouncy mouthfeel. Sweet tropical fruit finish, touches of white pepper. A damned pleasant brew. Davinci (295), Chicago, Illinois, USA May 18, 2008 Batch #2. Pours a very hazy medium caramel color with quickly fading off white head. Nose is primarily soft esters with a focus on clove and a more subdued banana aroma. Flavor has a peppery onset moving toward a fruit and clove midldle. Finish reveals some of the hop bitterness. Picking up notes of vanilla and woody tannins as it warms and more clove on the finish. Mouthfeel is very creamy and enjoyable. Very flavorful and well balanced. DKTN (110), Mc Donald, Tennessee, USA May 17, 2008 Batch #2. Bottle, 22 oz. (drank every drop). Cloudy light amber with a diminishing off-white head. Excellent lacing. Aroma of hops, malt, caramel, biscuit. Earthy flavor with a dry finish. Nice complexity. A top notch Belgian-style ale. I’d buy a case of it if I had the storage space. kmweaver (2398), Sebastopol, California, USA May 17, 2008 Draft @ Birreria Paradiso. Pours a hazy, orange-amber color; light tan head with fine-bubbled lacing. Basic breadiness, dough, and brown sugar in the aroma; quite reserved. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: lots of brown sugar, grapefruit (not sour, but grapefruit), breadiness and Belgian sugar; reasonably tasty, with an interesting citrus / grapefruit note and a touch of acidity. Lengthy finish: dough, breadiness, light spice, and a touch of residual sugar. dalekliz (546), San Diego, California, USA May 17, 2008 Sampled at Sean and Ryan’s tasting. Batch #2. Poured a clear amber with a thin, white head. Rich fruity hops and yeast aroma, with a bit of caramel. Taste is sweet, of yeast, malt, spices. Lingering bready yeast taste. Quite tasty and enjoyable. GadgetGeek (29), Snellville, Georgia, USA May 17, 2008 This is out of a bottle and batch #2. This is really good beer, it is in the style I like and isn’t over the top with alcohol. It poured a nice, fairly thin, head and was just at it’s best as it warmed up a bit from my wine cooler temperature. I certainly like it. ThomasE (5179), Copenhagen, Denmark May 15, 2008 Cloudy amber colour with an off white head. Malty, caramel sweet aroma with notes of alcohol and fruit. Malty, caramel sweet flavor with notes of grain and alcohol.
