HomeBrewHawk (263), De Soto, Kansas, USA May 1, 2008 Batch 2, 22oz bottle served in a chalice. Poured a hazy amber/gold with a thin off white head. Clove spiciness and some burnt sugar in the aroma. Medium bodied with some malt sweetness. Nice spicy flavor, a slight mustiness in the finish. A slight hop bitterness. Very drinkable and enjoyable to me. Nothing mind blowing however. RichJ7 (1175), Cullman, Alabama, USA Apr 30, 2008 Tap. Murky brown with a huge white head. Yeasty Belgian nose with lots of fruit. Flavor is full of banana, yeast and subtle peppery spice. Bit of brown sugar. Strong alcohol presence. Very nice and sweet. Excellent. gotbeach (128), San Diego, California, USA Apr 30, 2008 Bottle pours orange/amber with nice off white head. Good carbination. Definately recommend letting this one sit a while, or at least let it warm up a bit as flavors become more pronounced. Bannana, yeast, and spice aroma. Leaves a smooth silky feeling in your mouth with a nice bite at the end. A nice sipping beer at the end of the night. texasbartender (160), Sugarland, Texas, USA Apr 27, 2008 Beer pours a amber cooper color. The head is a bright white with a fine texture. The beer lacks any real lacing. The nose is very fruity smelling of stone fruit and spice. The front of the taste is very spicy with a mix of sweet fruit. The finish is a mix of spice and plums. Maria (6056), Thisted, Denmark Apr 26, 2008 Courtesy of Yngwie and Gunnfryd. Orange-red with a nice, creamy head. The aroma has sweetness, notes of dark, dried fruits and roasted malt. The flavour has sweetness, notes of malt, caramel, dark fruits, hints of yeast and a light, dry citrus bitterness. It’s nice. rodgers004 (26), Silver Spring, Maryland, USA Apr 25, 2008 Bottle, Batch #2- Interesting but ultimately underwhelming. Good but not what I was expecting from these great brewers. The complexity and depth of the malt body was good but not great. For the price, I would go a different direction. AgentSteve (1334), SF Bay Area, California, USA Apr 24, 2008 Pours deep ruddy brown with a tan head that diminishes to decent lacing. Nose is dried fruit, sugar, malt and biscuit. The flavor is not quite so complex, but more candied and brown sugars with a touch of dried fruit. A bit creamy on the palate and dry in the finish. All in all, a good brew and a bit quad-like. uhclem (188), Loveland, Colorado, USA Apr 24, 2008 Batch #2. Hazy amber pour. Strong off-white head and moderate lacing. Aroma of bread and cloves. Fruity, malty taste, again with cloves. Nice creamy mouthfeel. Aftertaste reiterates the aroma and flavor, and spikes it with an alcohol flavor.
