ElGaucho56 (386), USA Mar 27, 2008 Draft @ BSP. Pours a hazy darker brown with one finger thick tannish head. Not a whole lot going on in the nose, some fuller red berries, lots of fresh belgian yeast, a slight toffee like malt sweetness. Decent body on the tongue, not a whole lof flavors standing out; some tobacco mustiness, a little dark candi sugar, more of a yeasty plasticine quality, finishing drier with muted earthy hops. Seemed a bit like an overcharged ale version of a doppelbock. A little underwhelming, undfortunately. TeamTrappist (363), jericho, New York, USA Mar 27, 2008 22 oz bottle. Poured med-dark amber with small head. I found a fruity nose with a some nice carbonation. Some nice belgian hop flavor to this one, but like many american belgians it seems to lack the depth of flavor that distinguishes strong belgian beers.Nice smooth finish to it. Glad I got to try it. Tejas (693), Dallas, Texas, USA Mar 26, 2008 Draught > Flying Saucer. Was kind of surprised to see this one on draught but glad I got to try it. Pretty solid American Belgian but nothing much to remember about this one. So forgettable that I’m having trouble describing it. Oh well.... BuckeyeSammy (454), Cleveland, Ohio, USA Mar 25, 2008 Very malty at first taste, thicker beer. Medium carbonation. Dark amber, small head. Medium lacing. Undertones of dark fruits. U think its pretty cool that avery and russian river, expected a little more though. SQNfan (591), Wheaton, Illinois, USA Mar 24, 2008 Deep and cloudy amber in color with just some light lacing. Aromas were of yeast, sweet malt, banana, flowers and spice. There is plenty of carbonation in the front of the mouth and fades to leave dryness on the finish. The palate has solid weight and shows off the flavors from the nose. Very enjoyable but nothing that stands out...good or bad. thegreenrooster (1811), St.louis, Missouri, USA Mar 23, 2008 Pour is a amber with a small white head. Aroma has yeast,corriander and allspice. Flavor is much of the same with some sweet candi sugar with a bit of spice and yeast. Finish is dry and a little fruity. Tasty enough but not mind blowing and good enough to try at least once. TikiE (360), Sylva, North Carolina, USA Mar 23, 2008 This beer was not near as good as I wanted it to be. Has an orange taste that ends with the tastes of it going rotten in your mouth. Not very good, wont get it again. Collint (450), Sylva, North Carolina, USA Mar 23, 2008 Bottle Batch 2. Aroma of yeast. Color is hazy orange. Taste of yeast, yeast and yeast. Almost like rotten fruit, not a bad thing though. I like the story behind it, very cool.
