3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle. Pours a dark black color with a thick big foamy head. Smells of honey, plums and sugar. Tastes of candy, molasses and figs. Not as veavy as it looks, but the booze is there in the aroma. Almost tastes like a quad, but a littke too sweet. Very good
1.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20
hazy brown, thick bubbly head, both creamy and sticky full body, high carbonation.
aroma: herbal stale hops, alcohol, bitter and bright orange peel, metallic minerality, honey twang, dark candy sugar, and belgian yeast.
taste: roasted malt, dark candy sugar, stale vegetal hop bitterness, heavy minerality, honey twang, and belgian yeast.
seems like a dubbel with some honey thrown in, upping the alcohol quite a bit, and leaving a metallic honey twang. epitomizes everything i don’t like about dubbels, and about honey beers.

3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
750ml bottle.
Murky copper color with about an inch of white head. Smells of hops, dark fruit, and yeast. Lots of flavors - caramel and brown sugar. Slight sweetness from the honey. Didn’t enjoy this as much as the Local 1, but still a good brew that I would drink again.

bottle from whole foods bowery. dark pour, lots of head. notes of citrus in the nose. very dry taste, almost fruity.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
750ml bottle from Alko
Sweet, quite easy to drink Belgian styled ale with hints of fruits and honey in the taste. Pours dark brown with a large and foamy white head. Alcohol is well hidden, but the taste is rather bland.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
From a bottle-conditioned 750. Kinda Belgian, Kinda basic Brown Ale. Thicker palate than expected. Tingly. Belgian yeast and sugars come through making it similar to a dubbel or an abbey but the spices are so understated that wouldn’t be a full-on Belgian. Difficult to categorize, but I enjoyed it.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
brownish body with big white head. too much belgian yeast, clove, spice, licorice and mild fruit. a touch too heavy on the honey and sugar...despite this, not bad overall, and still certainly one of breweries best
