3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20Dark brown. Tastes like roasted cashews/figs/plum. I don’t think I’ve had a beer quite like this. No head (possibly due to this being a recap). Thanks Seymour.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
22oz bottle. Poured in a goblet. Medium body. Lighter, but more sharp carbonation. Very dry texture. Some light dark fruit, candy , and earthy hop aroma. Caramel, some tropical fruit flavors. Like fruit punch. Spice nose. Taste is mostly bitter, with spice. Mostly clear red color, with some brown hues. Minimal khaki head. Some baked apple, banana.. Bit sweet. Interesting dubbel. But doesn’t really do it for me, still.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle… Clear brown ale with a glimmer of burnt-orange and a big, creamy, off-white head. The nose is of lightly spicy Belgian phenols which really spoil the fun for me as I prefer the nice notes of dates, figs and raisins that are also presented here. Full-bodied with a 1%-milk mouthfeel and modest carbonation. The flavor is balanced nicely, but lacks any true malt character. Caramel? Not really. Fruitcake? Nah. Cocoa? Huh uh. So, the flavor falls flat, but is not the least bit offensive. Finishes minerally and bland. This one if fairly typical of the rest of the Mutiny Fleet line from Heavy Seas. Very meh.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle pours a dark red with a tiny tan top. Scent is fruit, yeast and malty. Taste is sweet malts, caramel and yeast.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
22 ounce bottle poured an amber color, aromas of spice, banana, dried fruit, light malt, and some light hops. Flavors are the same as the aroma, nicely balanced, little spice in the back end.
3.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
A pretty, dark ruby beer with plenty of sticky foam. Plenty of spicy yeast and candy sugars on the nose.The alcohol is a little more apparent than it might be in Belgium, on the first sip at least, and a tiny but in the finish too. Otherwise it is spot on with a mellow, layered sweetness. It is satisfyingly thick with an excellent tickle of carbonation. Really an excellent beer to drink though, excellent.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Decent brew. Pours reddish with no head. Aroma is sweet caramel / toffee. Very smooth / oily in mouth with a sweet / smooth finish. Thanks Elwood!

3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle shared at STL RB gathering, thanks! Pour is amber brown with a light white head. Aroma is light banana, faint spice, and notes of black pepper. Flavor also contains notes of light caramel malt, light brown sugar, faint spice, and a touch of fruit. Clean and slightly sweet.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
22 oz. bottle left at my place by Strykzone and opened the next time around - thanks, Dave! Pours a clear amber color with a small off-white head. Aroma of fig, date, plum, brown sugar, candi sugar, caramel malts- pretty nice and fruity smelling. Flavor is so, so fruity, with the same fruits as the nose, berries, sweet and caramel malts, toasted sugar, and earthy notes. Medium-bodied, with medium-high carbonation and a juicy, sweet mouthfeel. I liked it but couldn’t drink a whole one.
