4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20 BBB63 (5039) - La Porte, USA - MAR 4, 2005
750ml bottle and enjoyed in the NB snifter: Deep brown with amber highlights and a fading but never disappearing head, good lace. The aroma has notes of orange zest, cacao, caradmom seed, roasted and caramalized malting, very aromatic hops, a hint of fresh oak, barley pipe tobacco and dusty esters. The taste shines which a great balance of sugars and bitters with a fine dose of oaky nature added in for good measure. Damn, I just can’t put this down long enough to type! The feel is a bit to fizzy but then again, perhaps to add to the enjoyment and make this beer WAY TOO EASY TO DRINK! It’s like a bit of Belgium in my backyard. What ever Ron is doing a few hours away, PLEASE keep it up. Now I am so looking forward to the Biere de Mars coming soon. A must try for anyone who likes Abbey Dubbel as I do.

Style et résumé: Wild ale américaine aromatisée au cacao, pelure d’orange et cannelle.
Comment: Bouteille de 750ml , capsule métallique, partagée avec slovaksniper. Batch 937 embouteillée le 19 décembre 2011 .
Description: Bière ambrée avec une blanche-beige durable. Le nez est classique pour un produit Jolly, il y a des levures sauvages contrôlées, des bretts et un côté fruité. La bouche est savoureuse, pleine de saveurs de brett. Le cacao se fait discret mais il offre probablement cette finale astringente. Il y a une touche boisée fort agréable. Une autre bière réussie par cette brasserie américaine.
Note: 7+/10

(75 cl dans deux verres. Merci Yan!) Batch 937. Embouteillée le 19-12-2011. Un liquide qui présente une robe ambrée. Une mousse beige qui se dépose avec la ferme intention de perdurer. Un nez de JP avec des petites fleurs épicées et des agrumes sucrés. Des saveurs rafraîchissantes touchées par la levure et par une certaine douceur maltée. Des épices plus évidentes lorsque le liquide devient chaud. Un fond fruité, des notes acidulées, aigrelettes et asséchantes. Un corps de moyenne densité avec un pétillement actif et une texture finement huileuse. Une finale parfumée, jamais agressante et sèche.

På fat på Mikkeller. Kopparfärgad disig öl med lite skum. Doftar omogna äpplen, ek och lite funkighet. Fruktig öl med en avslutning som drar lätt i kinderna. En trevlig amerikansk version av belgisk öl.

Draught at CBC. Presented as ABV 6,1, Hazy dark reddish amber, small off-white head. Aroma is caramel, light sourness, oak, fresh dark fruits. Flavor is fruity, malty sweetness, dry herbal hops, kinda dusty, tart finish.
