Beer pours a medium caramel brown color.The head is large, white frothy, diminishing but mostly lasting. The aroma is complex: Malty with moderate notes of toasted grain, cookie and caramel; Hoppy with light notes of straw, resin/pine and herbs (mostly dill); Yeasty with a moderate-to-heavy note of damp basement, a light note of savory sourdough bread dough and a trace of sharp cheese. Miscellaneous aromas include a light note of white pepper, a moderate note of spicy alcohol and trace notes of orange zest and baby powder. The flavor is heavily sweet and lightly bitter with a long, heavily tummy-warming, moderately bittersweet finish. The body is medium, the texture is velvety and the carbonation is lively.

3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
750ml bottle. Well-done but the spicyness is very present, maybe too much for me to make it a regular choice. Honey and spices dominate a rather pleasant aroma. Aside of the spices, the alchool is quite perceptible although an herbal hop dryness balance it decently. Some fruits, like banana, apricots and apple are distinguishable. Long dry aftertaste. Pretty good in its style...

I found that this ale goes well with brats & sauerkraut. However, it’s got the right balance of taste and alcohol content to qualify, in my eyes, as a dessert beer.
4.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
1 pint 9.4 oz bottle. Pours a hazy pale golden color with a medium white head. It has a very clean fresh aroma along with some spices. It has a wonderful creamy taste,a cereal taste, a lemon & orange citrus taste and tastes of herbs. This beer is absolutely wonderful. I look forward to drinking this one again.
