clear dark yellow, almost headless, sweet malt aroma with a hint of spices, rich malt flavor with a spicy finish, as it warms the spice blooms along with a hint of warm alcohol mixed in with a touch of orange citrus, light and refreshing for a 9% ale

A beautiful looking beer. Deep golden color with a nice creamy head. Sweet and fruity of peaches.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
From tap served in a heavy glass goblet
Light orange with a nice light foamy head on top which lasted the entire glass coating the sides as it went down.
Smelled of fruits and alcohol with a sweetness. When it firsts hits your tongue it has a sweetness but a wholesome kind of sweetness not sugary. Then you get fruit flavors with a little bit of alcohol and a very slight bitterness - a very nice balance
Has a very nice carbonation throughout that lasted the entire time. It is crisp and creamy at the same time and goes down very smoothly. The flavors stay in your mouth for a while and you can feel the warmth spreading around throughout your mouth and down your throat.
I really enjoyed this beer. It went down smoothly and the taste was consistent even getting richer as it warmed and opened up. You can definitely feel the high alcohol content so I savored the beer for a while.

bottle poured a cloudy amber in color with a big head that almost continued to grow from the carbination. smells of fruits, yeasts, spice, and some hops. taste is as the smell would let you think, good body with a full and somewhat creamy texture, good hops for the beer, spices, and some good fruits. good beer and masks the 9% rather well.

pours clear copper/gold with little head. Syrupy sweet fruit aromas, honey candied malts. Light malty sweetness is balanced by a latent and bittering hop touch towards the back with a subtle hint of spice. Nice brew
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Interesting floral aroma with stone fruit notes. Bright gold color with a white head that attempts lacing. Thin to medium bodied, with light, creamy carbonation. The flavor starts with spice and stone fruit; could be some peach. Definitely could be apricot - more likely than peach. Finish is fairly dry, and not really bitter. It is hard to believe there is 9% in here. This is really delicious.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottled. Clear golden pour. Almost sweet grape smell. Silky. Sweet swallow with hints of alcohol.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle, some light malt notes quite a bit of yeast. Pours a fairly clear golden color, with a nice and fluffy white head. Maybe some slight hop notes a bit of pine perhaps. Taste is hoppier than I expected, malts are nice a slightly bitter hops finishes fades to light straw sweetness. Better than I had expected. Its nice and tasty but still pretty easy to drink, alcohol is not noticible.
