Medium copper pour with off white head and lace. Rich caramel malt aroma with a sweetness and spice. Rich spicy caramel malt flavor. Full bodied but just a tad too foamy for me. A different but very drinkable beer.

UPDATED: JUN 4, 2009 Draft. Pours honey brown with an off white head. The aroma is lightly sweet and malty, with toast and a little herbal/spicy hint. The flavor has sweet fruits and caramel, with an almost cherry like sweetness, nuts and a light spiciness. The body is a bit thin. Pretty good.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Tap at Spuyten Duyvil. Amber pour with no head at all. The aroma is unusual. Softly fruity and herbal, but substantially different from most gruits I’ve had. A sort of light yeasty fruitiness and a bit of spice. The flavour shows some of the typical spicy/herbal notes. Light-bodied with a touch of tartness. A bit of apricot and a long lingering mintiness. Pretty solid really.
