Oct 18, 2009 750 ml. bottle. Pours a thick, lasting, ligth beige head, with lovely lacing over a clear, between the floculated yeast floaters, amber (SRM 9) body, .....nose has caramel, toffee, dried cherry, raisin....taste has ginger, sweet toffee, caramel, finishing slightly bitter, with a final twang of woody terpenes and tannins....mouth feel is thick chewy, sensuous, carbonation tiny bubbled and creamy. The alcohol is not totally hidden but adds to the final sensation. This is great beer, and obviously adds to the brewery’s reputation.

Sep 22, 2009 On-Tap @ Bailey’s Taproom poured into Snifter glass.
Pours a cloudy amber with some reddish hues and has a light, fluffy off-white head that allows for a wispy layer to remain atop the glass. The aroma has belgian yeast, soft malt, sweet tart cherry, vanilla and an overall spiciness. The flavor is sweet malt and cherry upfront and accompanied by belgian yeast, malt, oak, alcohol and spice. It finishes dry and tasty. This is a medium bodied beer with a pleasant amount of carbonation. Honestly, Its better than expected with nice Belgian characteristics and the cherry and barrel characters are soft but noticeable. Complex and thirst quenching.

Sep 20, 2009 Masks the alcohol well, very fruity (it’s part wine...), shows the wine in the finish. I wouldn’t think I’d ever have it again, but I glad I tried it.

Sep 15, 2009 Serving: 750 ml bottle.
Appearance: Cloudy, light red with touches of orange and a foamy, off-white head. Decent head retention.
Aroma: Smells like a rose spritzer with notes of spice and wood.
Taste: Thick, rich, and sweet with definite pinot and wood notes. A little red wine astringency, slightly salty, and a huge maltiness. I certainly wouldn’t call it a Wit (Belgian Strong Ale is a much better classification), but it certainly isn’t bad!
Palate: High, prickly carbonation with a very rich mouthfeel and a medium, winey and sweet finish.
Overall: Hey, it’s a Dogfish Head beer! Very unique but I think they have a winner with this one. Definitely give it a try.
