bu11zeye (3572), Frisco, Texas, USA Jun 30, 2008 (Draught, 2008 vintage) Pours a clear amber body with a small white head. Aroma of floral, tangerine, peach, clove, white grapes, honey, and subtle wood notes. Flavor of strawberry, toffee, cherry, and honey. mmather (112), Colorado, USA May 2, 2008 at the 2007 Boulder CO Strong Ale Fest. Lots of spicy, malty aromas. Alcohol blends well with the base beer. Barrel aging does not overpower beer. A great, very well balanced beer. BeerandBlues2 (2411), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA Jan 14, 2008 8th Big Beers, Belgians, and Barleywines. Pours clear orange with an average, rocky, off-white head, diminishing with fair lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (bread, hay, straw), average hops (flowers, citrus), average yeast (dough, earth) with notes of peach and pear. Medium bodied, creamy texture, soft carbonation, and a metallic finish. Average duration, light sweetness, moderate acidity and bitterness. Dough77 (714), Aurora, Illinois, USA Nov 30, 2007 FOBAB 07. Cloudy pour with small whiteish head. Nose of light fruits including but not limited to grape, notes of hops including flowery citrus and earthiness. Different for sure, good......ehhh different for sure. CaptainCougar (4601), Rockville, Maryland, USA Nov 27, 2007 On tap at the 2007 GABF: Pours a hazy but mostly transparent golden with a thin ring of white bubbles. Aroma of sweet pale malt and a touch of citrus and light fruits. Body starts fairly full and caramely sweet with some slightly earthy tartness and a drier, more bitter and warming finish. Needs a little more balance and refinement.
