Sham (1846) - Seattle, Washington, USA - FEB 16, 2004
Cloudy brown pour with an off white head. Bread/yeast and malt aromas. Fruity as well, apple's coming through. Same with the flavor. Big flavors of apple along with the yeast/bread flavors, sweet malt, some molasses. High carbonation levels make the palate really bubbly like champagne. Medium body, with a tart finish.

WabashMan (924) - Noblesville, Indiana, USA - JUL 21, 2009
An impressive start, with a very nice nose, but the flavor is not so impressive, with an overly fizzy head and thin, short lived mouthfeel. Not bad, by any stretch, but not among the greats of the style.

Boutip (3294) - Gatineau, Quebec, CANADA - NOV 6, 2006
Bottle: Poured a deep amber color beer with a thick off-white foamy head with great retention and lacing. Aroma of candi sugar is pretty dominant with some distinctive Belgian yeast. Taste of sweet malt with candi sugar is dominating and a bit – too one-dimensional for my own taste. Body is also a bit thin but alcohol is well hidden.

IPFreely (1471) - Sanborn, New York, USA - NOV 7, 2004
Deep reddish brown, cloudy, with a beige head. Mildly sweet, some ripened bananas, honey, and malt. Kind of dry, alcohol is hidden pretty well, lacks a bit in the body. Not bad.

A medium brown color, not opaque. Light tan head. Malty aroma and taste. Hints of caramel and nuts. The alcohol content is masked well.

hopdog (6943) - Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA - JUL 12, 2004
Poured a medium to dark brown with a large, quickly dimishing, brown head. Yeast and sweet malt aromas. Malty, caramel, sweet, and spicy tastes.
