3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 BlackDonald (1127) - Boise, Idaho, USA - APR 18, 2008
Definitely one of the better beers from Avery. I really enjoy the yeastiness that blends in so well with the lighter fruits flavors, this has a wonderful mouthfeel, with just enough carbonation. Almost has a marmalade, jamminess with a bit of spritz in the finish, well balanced, and delicious.

Pours a deep gold color with a medium foamy white head. Lots of spicy hops and ripe fruit in the aroma. Sweet flavor of fruit gives away to some hop bitterness, with a bit of alcohol bite. Pretty good.

22. Pours a brilliant crystal clear medium amber with a few columns of rising carb and a solid, sudsy white head. Big peppery, earthy hop nose, with some light apricot in there. Mildly carbed body, medium and dry. Apricots and very mild tobacco notes show up on the mid-palate, along with some biscuit and dark peppery/spicy notes. This is probably good enough to finish.

3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 MrRain (472) - St. Louis, Missouri, USA - APR 7, 2008
Bottled and poured into a tumber. I’ve had this bottle sitting around in the bottom of my ice box for something like six months. I’m finally going to drink it. It pours copper-colored with a thin rocky head. It smells sweet like peaches and acidic with hops. the body is light but this beer is chock full of flavor. The flavors closely mimic the aroma and consist of peaches. The finish is slightly oily and the sweetness lingers.

(cleaning out my beer bottle collection as pictured in my profile and utilizing ratebeer.com)
As I recall, a good strong Belgian style ale. Flavors were complex, spice, hops, and malt.
