Orlando, Fl. - Knightly Spirits, 500 ml bottle. Slighlty murky, dark peach colored pour with an extremely frothy white head. Aroma of yeast, baked bread, dried apricots Flavor has some raw cookie dough flavor to it, some yeast, a hint of citrus and a faint trace of molasses. Hoping for a bit more bitterness. Tastes a bit stronger than 6.5. Sticky mouthfeel, a bit cluttered. Overall, average.

Pours a murky orange. Stable off-white head and moderate lacing. Nose is of pine needles and earth. Taste brings out the pine needles again, along with orange peel. Mouthfeel starts out light and fizzy, but soon settles down to a more solid feel. Crisp. Aftertaste is decent, with a good bit of bitterness.

watery, sour taste. very "vodka-like" flavor, and not good vodka. Definitely pass on this.

2001 vintage - That was just ever so slightly past it’s prime. A very yeasty flavor, and a somewhat metallic taste, almost musty, faint flavors or spice and a musty bready maltiness. Although this was old, you could still tell at one time this was a really delicious beer. Finishes with some woody earthy notes. I would love to try a fresh sample of this.

Sampled at the 2008 Crescent Moon Extreme Beerfest. Pours hazy amber with a big off white head. A strong fruity aroma. Toasted almonds in the flavor. Raisin plum pudding. Mild roasted bitterness to the finish.
