Served in trappist glass- poured somewhat transparent faded orange/copper, low carbonation, thin white ring around the glass for a head, aroma of alcohol, yeast, and powdered sugar.

Aug 11, 2008 12 oz. brown longneck bottle. 2008 on front label. Poured out a dark golden color, with no head at all. Aromas are of apple skins, catty hops, Belgian yeast. Flavors are mostly apple skins, slightly astringent as well. Some funky yeast & catty hops make up the bulk of the flavors.
Medium mouthfeel, funky aroma.
OK to try once. And only once.
