Oct 25, 2007 Updated: Mar 5, 2008(tap) A totally unique beer that impressed me. Aromas and flavors of tropical fruits. Pithy and dense. Some sourness, must, and spice. I would like to have this again.
re-rate (bottle--red label but is the brown for sure). Impressed me again. A subtle, understated beer that can easily be overlooked and under-appreciated and apparently is. Complex flavors include smoked apple, applewood-smoked bacon, and a smidgen of licorice. Dry finish. Mouthfeel is chewy, smooth, light. Nose is apple & pear, guava & lemon, on one layer--and another layer of earth and wood. I could make this a daily beer, easily.

Oct 13, 2007 BB date 01/03/03...damn. another gift from a client’s wine cellar. hazy brown with orange hints and a fluffy cream colored head with HUGE bubbles. this really wanted out of the bottle! aromas of caramel, wood barrels, cinnamon and orange. medium mouth feel with lots of carbonation. flavor is funk, earth, floral yeast, toffee and a dried herb/spice that i can’t place.there’s definitely some oxidation and a slight sourness that keeps me coming back. so much going on that i’m a bit overwhelmed. i’ll have to taste it fresh and rerate because THIS bottle is smarter than me...

Oct 9, 2007 750 ml bottle from Holiday Wine Cellar. Brown amber with a foamy white head. Dried fruit and yeast aroma. Earthy and fruity taste with a slight spice and oaky notes with a semi-sweet finish.

Oct 7, 2007 Bière brune ambrée, voilée avec des pellicules de levures. Col très mince et éphémère de teinte crème.
Parfum léger de malt, de caramel et de réglisse.
Ces saveurs se retrouvent en bouche, avec une note liquoreuse et d’alcool agréable.
Très pétillante et rafraîchissante.
Savoureuse!
