JB175 (1665) - Bucks County, USA - FEB 3, 2008
Tap at GLI. Reddish amber color with a medium head. Aroma has a lot of raisin and sugar/dark fruit sweetness. Bready-sweet flavors mixed well with a gentle bit of hops. Tasted a quite a bit like some of their stronger Belgian brews. Very tasty.

DocLock (5970) - Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA - APR 14, 2009
Deep coppery pour with nose of malt, x-mas spice, brown sugar, some nuts, and flavors to match the aromas with a bit of late heat. Solid.

puzzl (3093) - New York, New York, USA - MAR 23, 2009
Tap at the Tiedhouse, courtesy of our server. Thanks! Nice pour and head. Biscuity pine/evergreen aroma, mild spice and steamed veggies. Flavor is sweetish malts up fornt with a decidedly vegetal finish. Mild in general, a bit more like a fall beer than a winterbeer methinks.

riversideAK (4566) - Shoreline, Washington, USA - MAR 21, 2008
Growler from Ty5592. Pours dark amber with a thin white head. Aroma is sweet and yeasty. Some spice, banana, and wheat perhaps. Very yeasty flavor with lots of fruit. Some plums, dates, toffee with a light roast. Almost a creamy, syrupy mouth feel with just a touch of alcohol. It worked for me.

hopdog (7043) - Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA - FEB 25, 2008
On tap at the GLI. Poured a medium amber color with a small sized off white head. Aromas of spiciness, caramel, and some fruitiness. Tastes of the same caramel, spices, and lightly fruity. Alcohol content hidden.

michael-pollack (4878) - King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA - FEB 11, 2008
Draught: Very sweet aroma. Smells of fruit, alcohol, and malts. Poured orange/amber in color with a small, off-white head head that diminished quickly. Cloudy. Sparkling. Lots of small particles. Small lacing. Flavor is medium sweet. Tastes of sour mix, spices, alcohol, malts, and caramel. Medium body. Sticky texture. Soft to average carbonation. Spicy sweet finish.

billk (333) - Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, USA - FEB 9, 2008
Tap @ the drafting room Exton. Dark amber, almost no head that dissipated to nothing quickly. Belgianesque, but in an American way, monotoned, perhaps a bit stale in the keg. Rather disappointing. Very unremarkable.

Ty5592 (1018) - Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA - FEB 7, 2008
Draft. Thick hazy orange/amber color. Fruity and malty aroma with various spices thrown in. Sweet and rich on the palate with bready/biscuity taste. Solid brew.
