4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20UPDATED: DEC 30, 2011 Bottle. Poured a cloudy medium yellowish orange with a very large (2-3 finger) white frothy head that had great longevity and excellent lacing.
The aroma was moderately heavy of grain malts, an earthy yeast and flowery hops with nice notes of citrus, banana and a bit of spice (coriander I believe).
It tasted kind of sweet with a hint of citrus at first and then became a bit bitter and quite yeasty with a mild alcohol finish leaving a nice bold flavor lingering on the taste buds for a long while.
Mouthfeel was right in the middle of light and medium in body and had a dry texture with a nice prickly carbonation.
Overall a great Strong Ale with a medley of components coming together for one really fantastic tasting brew which does a nice job of concealing the high alcohol content.

Mycket metallisk doft o smak. Jäst ligger fortfarande kvar i smaken. Ingen öl att rekommendera!!
4.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Golden with a thick, active, meringue head and moderate lacing. Nose with lemon, spice, and butterscotch notes. Mildly-carbonated, smooth mouthfeel, followed by a lemony, yeasty, peppery, overripe banana, green grape, Satsuma finish. The high alcohol percentage is barely noticeable.

Yellow gold with a very light haze. huge fluffy head that seems to last. Aroma is mild citrus rind leaning toward orange with a mild spice on top (coriander?). Taste is dry white grape and pear and there is that spice again. Tastes like coriander, but feels like cinnamon? Nice beer.

Good scent. But gee what flavor. Strong and tough. I did not think about this ale. But good to drink anyway.

UPDATED: APR 29, 2013 På ølsmaking med Garrett Oliver. Gylden ravfarve med hvitt godt skum. Aroma av gjærbakst, honning, rosin og humle. Frisk med middels honningsødme og god kullsyre. Tydelig honning, men ikke for søt. Tydelig alkohol. (Den Gode Nabo, 28.04.13)

Bottle - Brown sugar and yeast. Light gold thin head. Effervescent banana, honey and Belgian yeast. Heavy on the fruit, nice if you like the style.
