Jul 6, 2008 22 oz bottle in trade from Siphium. Deep burnt orange pour with minimal head. Strong malt aroma, once past that roasted coriander and maybe cardamon. Nice feel, the 13% alc and sweetness round out a very very green smoothness. Chocolate and spiced apricots on the hard palate. This is a fine beer and one of the best in it’s style.

Jul 2, 2008 Dark brown color. Nose is impressive and awfully complex, mostly malty with roast, caramel and sugared fruits notes. Also traces of spices. Flavor is massive and thick. Lots of taste. Well aged malts, caramel, toffee, wild mountain fruit. Belgian-like in a way, but also like an english barley wine. Nice balance overall, including the spicing. Very tasty, well made beer.

May 31, 2008 22oz Bottle. Oxidization and bug spray aroma. A bit of hops and grass. Some aged fruit. Pours a ruddy amber with orange fringe and a rim of white. Flavor is a bit of potatoes, ginger, and candy balls. There’s popcorn! Some serious celery seed. A weak ass imitation of Eccentric ale. Old tasting and it’s not even been a year. Salty, celery and old. Run away. Guess what this isn’t doing? Aging well. Thanks Sean!

May 26, 2008 Sampled at guest table during Dark Lord Days ’08. From 22-oz bomber pours a semi-hazy copper amber brew with a thin off-white head that quickly dissipates to a thin ring and very little lacing. Aroma of medicinal herbs, dried yeast, some faint sweet caramel malt, and a touch of vanilla. Taste is medium to full bodied, light carbonated, heavy on the alcohol with flavors of dark pitted fruits, some yeast, dried multi-grain malt and some herbal spice. Finish is slightly metallic from the high alcohol with a dry and bitter malt aftertaste that lingers after the finish. I’d share this one during the winter months any day.

Apr 26, 2008 (Bottle 65 cl) Courtesy of boboski. Pours a hazy amber golden with a creamy, beige head. Fat and fruity, syrupy nose. Quite full-bodied, low in carbonation, fruity and herbal and very interesting. Very alcoholic finish. Thanks for this odd beast bobo. 190408
