Murky dark orange with a thin white head.
Big fruity nose, orange, cherry, berries and a little yeast, red wine notes.
Tastes as nose, fairly full bodied slightly sticky and a little alcohol on the finish. Fairly well disguised alcohol flavours, well balanced.

A caramelly-red beer with a white crisp head. The aromas are sweet grapes. The beer has a full body with some complexity. The pinot noir juice is what keeps it very sweet and there is no bitterness. Overall another solid beer from the master brewers at Dogfish.

It poured a slightly hazy dark amber color with a small white head. The aroma was of coriander, orange peels and some floral notes. The taste was of yeast, coriander, sweet malt and lots of citrus. A little warmth in the back-end. Very tasty, well done.

From notes: Poured hazy orange-amber with a thick, creamy 2-finger white head. Wine-like aroma, with a touch of citrus up front and wood notes at the back. Full-bodied with a slight syrupy thickness. Flavor was lightly wine-like, with a note of orange pith and a strong wood note in the midst of a dry finish.

Pours a dark orange with an off-white head and aroma coriander and grapes. Taste is complex, flavors of grape, coriander, fruits, spices, and alcohol with the alcohol lingering in the finish. Nice brew from Dogfish with nice flavors.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draught at stag’s head NYC. Dark clear orange w/o much lace or head. aromas its light malt grain, juicy vinous notes, and some musty hop notes. Flavor us rich earthy sweet buttery vinous, and ends with a ripe tropical fruit and lightly spiced and bitter hop flavor set. Palate is slick and sticky the way though. Pretty good because and in spite of how it weighs heavy on the palate. Could go well with heavier rich food.

Bottle. The pour was a clear peachy orange with a large (2-3 finger) white frothy head that receded slowly down to a large puddle and collar, and possessed some excellent sheets of lacing.
The aroma was mildly sweet with a grain malt and a moldy Belgian yeast and had notes of citrus (orange), a mild hint of red wine, dark fruit (grapes & plums), oak cask, and a bit of coriander.
The taste started off mildly sweet with a hint of dark fruit and a mild wine presence, and then became moderately yeasty with a light spicy citrus note and a slight alcohol presence at the end. The flavor lasted an average time after the swallow with a nice spicy wine flavor left behind.
Mouthfeel was a hair above light in body with a mildly dry texture and a soft carbonation.
Overall an impressive tasting brew, unlike anything I have tasted up to this point. The mild "Pinot Noir Cask" flavor blended remarkably well with the Belgian yeast, thus hiding the high ABV and making it a most enjoyable drinking experience...
