Jul 7, 2009 From Vin de Pays of Long Beach, CA; batch # 253. Poured a lot of rocky tan head over a brown body, plus a generous helping of sediment. Aroma was somewehat perfumed, rather un-brown ale-like. Taste was sweet and the mouthfeel was surprisingly sharp. An interesting beer.

Jul 6, 2009 (Bottle) Pours dark reddish brown with a large and firm off-white head. The aroma holds notes of horse blanket/barnyard/basement-like brett, some lactic acid, spices like white/black pepper, cinnamon and mild cardamom, brown sugar/dark fruits, lemon, lime peel and dry oranges alongside a whisper of cocoa. Undertones of pear/apricot/pineapple esters, toasted/light nutty/cracker-ish malt, spicy/sweaty oak, dust and some aromatic, wet dog/cheese-like hops. Fantastic and harmonic nose, everything is perfectly blended. Clear white whine tartness. Maybe a touch of cherry candy. The flavour is light sweet/dry, light bitter and medium acidic with tones of peppery spices, mild esters, oak wood, mild earth, dry cracker/toasty malt, green apples and lime/grapefruity citrus. Dry, but creamy, maltiness. Light spicy hops. The mouthfeel is tart, yet soft and round with a medium, sharp carbonation. The aftertaste is acidic and tart with a fresh citric and wooden sting. Some hops in the aftertaste. Medium bodied.

Jun 6, 2009 Shared with Skinnyviking, bought at Ølbutikken in Copenhagen. Great lacing head, beige in appearance. Dark amber body. Aroma of tart, dark fruits. Ditto taste with prominent notes of pumpkin and notes of spices like cinnamon. Foamy bubbles in the mouth. Has got its fine moments, but does not quite rises to greater heights (Copenhagen, 17.05.2009).

May 29, 2009 I think I may have gotten a slightly extra-carbonated edition but then again, this brew does offer some unique flavors. Spices fill the mouth as the Maracaibo Especial splashes the mouth with an almost champagne presence. If you let this beer warm just a bit, the flavors of the cocoa and cinnamon will rise like a young sapling in a Caribbean hillside.
