Nov 26, 2008 Sampled from a 225.6 oz brown bottle this beer poured a red-copper color with a large pink-white head and lots of floating chunks. The aroma was faintly sweet and woody. The flavor was sweet, woody, fruity and bitter with a touch of cherry and apricot. There was a strong tart, tangy and bitter finish that detracted. The body was thick and the alcohol well hidden. Interesting but rather disappointing.

Nov 21, 2008 My Dad picked this one out after winning a bet ;) I’m not sure if winning the bet makes this taste better, but it tastes damn good.
I noticed the Wit taste from the first sip. The complexities were more noticeable as it warmed. Strong and quite sweet. Coriander and peppery spices are notable.
The wine and oak characteristic are an afterthought, then again I’m not a wine connoisseur.

Nov 20, 2008 I remember this having a much more reddish hue in the past.... The aroma was very undistinct though a lot was going on... Tastes of a touch of pepper, notes of traditional wit spices, and a mild hint of the pinot noir and the vanilla flavor from the casks... A certain amount of the belgain yeastiness comes through as well... Medium-full bodied... Mild drying on the tongue in the finish with enough warming alcohol to keep you honest... IMO a gorgeous beer, very subtly complex....

Nov 19, 2008 (bottle - 750 ml) Cloudy orange color with a very thin white head. Aroma is quite tart with good hints of grapes, orange, coriander, and some candied sugars. Flavor is grainy and sweet at the beginning with a good hint of grapes, vanilla, oak, and orange peel. Some coriander and other spices are apparent in the middle along with the grapes and orange. A tart and slightly sour finish with a lingering aftertaste of grape peels.

Oct 23, 2008 Sampled at the 2008 Great American Beer Festival. One of the more intriguing beers I’ve tried from Dogfish. Hazy orange color with a thick white head. Aroma is of orange citrus, pear, coriander with toasted wheat. Pinot character shows itself in the flavor, but with minimal oak. Toasty biscuit finish. Pretty good.

Oct 19, 2008 Bottle: Copper, light head and lacing. Nose of esters and light grape, fruit and doughy alcohol notes. Thud of grape, honey and strong alcohol. Brash, light acidic and a tannic tail. Not well put together.
