330ml bottle. This one has been sitting in the back of my cellar for a few years. Poured a lighter orangish color with a large sized off white head. Lots of suspended floaters. Aromas of bready yeastiness, spices, and lots of fruitiness. Like a spiced fruit bread. Tastes of caramel, light citrus, fruity and lightly spicy. Alcohol content well hidden.

Jul 23, 2008 Bottle 33 cl. Pors a brownish golden with a small white head and a sweet aroma of malts and ripe fruits. The taste is a full-bodied heavy sweetness, but the taste isn’t as complex as most other beers in this style. A nice beer, but there are far better beers in this style.

Jul 5, 2008 (330 ml bottle (best before 3/06) from Tully’s) Pours fairly cloudy slightly burnt orange/amber with one finger of soft-looking biege head that recedes to a thin, lasting cap. Aroma of light, sweet dark fruits and some doppel-like smokiness. Mouthfeel soft, with a decent amount of heft, fine bottle-conditioned carbonation. A bit sticky in the finish. Very nice well-defined weepy rings of lacing. Flavor of sweet dark fruitiness and brown sugar. A wonderful doppel-like smokiness. A nice, warming alcohol presence on the back end. I really kind of loved this stuff!

Jun 30, 2008 Bottle from somewhere in Richmond, VA. Hazy orange-amber with minimal head. Spicy, nutty caramel aroma. The first thought that came to mind with the taste was rice. Some fruity notes as well. Odd character to this one. Slightly sticky and full bodied.

Jun 12, 2008 Poured a hazed copper with a large off-white head. Odd yeasty aroma and taste with some notes of browned golden delicious apples. Paper and plastic taste as well. Fruity apple aroma. Medium bodied.
