Orlando, Fl. - Knightly Spirits - 11.2 oz bottle. Murky dark orange pour, thin, spritzy white head. Aroma of Juicy Fruit gum, produce section of a grocery store. Flavor has a touch of ginger, some herbal tea, glimpses of citrus. Very organic and herbal tasting. Pick up a bit of the sake from the barrels that this was soaked in. Mouthfeel, thick enough. Overall, an odd brew - hard to put a handle on it.

Jul 6, 2008 This was an incredibly woody, cedary, cinnamony, nutmeggy beer - incredibly flavorful, very dry. Just ZERO residual sugar. Extremely natural tasting. Unusual for any other brewer except for the wacky Kiuchi. Smells incredible; rich and full of cinnamon and a bit of leather.

Jul 2, 2008 #1600 – Deep hazed orange, thick off white head. Softly funked fruity vanilla aromas lay on waves of cedar toasted caramel and light swirls of dark fruit. Earthed fig and date flavors balance well on further vanilla and toasted wood-like tones. A touch of dried citrus and yeast rounds this out well. Medium bodied with zesty carbonation. Unique and very well crafted in my book…

Jun 25, 2008 Pours a hazy orange amber with a very thin head. Aroma of dark fruit, wood, funk, and spices. Feels more carbonated than the head would suggest. Sweet with a bit of tart.

Jun 23, 2008 Had a small sample of this at Gingerman’s in SoNo, CT. Pours a gorgeous dark brown with some white head. Looks almost like Bernardus 8. Very good representation of the style, hope to try more of this soon.

Jun 23, 2008 Bottle courtesy CigarCityBrew. Pours a slightly hazy golden with a small off white head. Aroma of tart citrus, spicy yeast, sweet tarts, and some funk. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium thin mouthfeel with a mild amount of bitterness and a spritzy dry finish. Very good.
