Aug 26, 2007 Updated: Sep 27, 2008Bottle at GBBF. Hazy amber with a lasting medium sized off-white head. Fruity aroma, mostly grapefruit, and an Orval-like funk character blending perfectly with an oak note. Smooth, with tartness, and very drinkable. Fabulous subtle oak character all the way through the tasting experience. A beer I really wish I could try at home with plenty of time. 9-4-8-4-17=4.2
Which is what I can now, re-rating a full bottle one year later. Same notes, same numbers. Delicious!
Another update, this time a JP tasting session: Even more complex than its brothers, with spicy notes standing out, especially white pepper and cardemum. The tartness is very fruity and berry like.
