Source: On tap at Medici in Normal, IL.
Appearance: Poured a cloudy gold color with a thin white head.
Aroma: The aroma was very spicey, with notes of orange peel and yeast. Very pleasant aroma.
Flavor: The flavor was candi sugar and fruit. A very spicey finish.
Palate: Medium/full body with softish carbonation and a silky mouthfeel.
Overall: Glad to try one of the GI high gravity beers. I have a BCS waiting in my fridge. Gives me a lot of hope for it.

Oct 6, 2009 On tap at GABF 2009. Pours a hazy reddish-amber color with a nice large white head. Aroma is yeast, wheat, caramel, spices, and candied fruits. Good but smells just a bit soapy. Some tartness evident. Flavor is nice and slightly tart, yet also sweet, with wheat, yeast, caramel, spices, fruity esters, and a hint of funk. Body is medium and palate is smooth with soft carbonation from the bottle conditioning. Overall pretty good but not a standout.
