12oz bottle. Head is off-white and mostly dissolves rapidly though what remains persists as a slick on top with a ring on the side. Lacing is mostly a frosty covering or gives broken coverage but is thin and fast. Body is a pleasant, clear brown like bronze. Overall it’s an appealing appearance. Aroma is a little hoppy and a little charry a little sweet funky banana. So it’s kind of like a well-done banana nut bread. Flavor carries the aroma well revealing more Belgian abbey trippel fruity notes. It is very mildly salty / sweet so mild that there is no finish. Body is light / medium with a thin, slightly oily feel. Overall, this is a good beer with thoughtful craftsmanship.

Tap @ ks sv. Decent brown ale with slight belgian yeast aroma and flavor. Odd thin soapy aftertast.

Pours a dark cherry chocolate color with a thick head. Light and very subtle coffee aroma. Initial fruit on the front with a strong malty finish. Also, a faint hint of an oak arrives after the original settlement.

Pours semi-clear and cola-like with a minimal head and carbonation. Feels light in body but full in flavor. I taste coffee and spices coming together smoothly in a thin to average texture. It finished crisp and short. Pretty tasty (above average) but not worth seeking out.

Served on Tap, High Dive Bar Aroma- malty, coffee notes, hints of vanilla. Appearance- mahogany brown color. thick off white head that lingered. Taste- firm toasted malt flavors. peppery quality from the belgian yeast. hints of vanilla, figs, raisins. coffee too. Palate-medium body, with an almost creamy quality to it. average carbonation. fruity, clove quality to the warming, dry finish. Overall, a pleasant beer for the winter. nice balance and flavor hints makes it good for a few rounds.

caramel color with thick head, slight dry taste on palate, malt taste really good cold!
