Bottle. Golden in and handsome in my Orval glass. Meadish, with prominent honey, peaches, and raisins, with some floral qualities. Thick mouthfeel, sweet but not in an artificial-sugary way. The honey/mead qualities gives it a nice "old" feel. A well-disguised 9% ABV, and it takes a while to drink this unless you’re intentionally hurrying.

Oct 12, 2008 For a 9% beer it is incredibly drinkable and light. Pours gold with a thin head. Aroma is sweet, honey, and some grape. A sweet beer that goes down smooth, not really what I was expecting, but good nonetheless.

Oct 11, 2008 pours a light copper with very small head, slightly hazy. Aroma is quite vinous with sweet and herbal notes as well. Flavor is very sweet with notes of wine, a sticky syrup quality, and some citrus. Very interesting- not really my style, but unique and a nice change. Good beer.

Oct 8, 2008 Dark golden hue, stronger taste than aroma... grapes and honey stand out the most... hits the palate more like a barley wine... good beer... would recommend getting it fresh... Even with the high alcohol I still have had brews that lose their character quickly...

Oct 7, 2008 Pours golden/amber color with a lot of carbonation. Sweet hints of honey with the bite of the muscat grapes. Very pleasant taste with hardly any hint of alcohol.

Oct 6, 2008 Bottle. Nice yellowish/amber color. Very carbonated initially out of the bottle. Definitely can taste the hints of honey and grape.
