Oct 11, 2008 Murky brown black tea like pour with basically no head beyond a few off white bubbles. Not to aromatic, some spice, cloves? Maybe plain yohgurt. Taste is superb: sweetness up front with dried fruit and honey, sour backbbone and a spicy, noticable rosemary finish. Minimal carbonation with a nice coating palate. This is a fine, fine beer!

Oct 11, 2008 Bottle. [thank you, myrup]
Pours deep dark chestnut brown with a small, staying, creamy, light-beige head. aroma has laurels, cloves, vanilla, cinnamon, roasted malts, plums, hazelnuts and chocolate. Actually a bit Christmas-y. Low carbonation with a nice, creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is great, good, fruitiness with raisins, plums and a bit of hops. Coriander, lightly roasted with some hazelnuts. Brilliant aftertaste with dry chocolate. o sign of the alcohol. Really wonderful.

Oct 10, 2008 The beer pours a deep dark brown, with a small head that does not last long.
The aroma the best part of this beer. Dark malty sweet aroma, slight molasses, followed by a nice sour funkiness. Great aroma.
flavor is simiiar to the aroma but with a roasty flavor that I feel is a little strong. Overall, it is a nice balanced beer but much of the funkiness is overpowered by the roastiness. As the beer warms the rosemary becomes more apparent.
I really like this beer a easy to drink especially for a 9% AVB. I hope as it ages the brett/sour comes out more and the roastiness fades a little.

Oct 8, 2008 750ml bottle(Patrons & Saints Club)-Pours an amber body with a small covering for a head with a lot of floaties. Aroma of fruit, sweetness, and a lambic smell. Taste of malt, sweetness, fruit, raisin, and spices. This full bodied brew finishes with a nice smooth finish. A nice well balanced brew.

Oct 8, 2008 Bottle. Aroma of malt and yeast and a slight sweetness. Pours a dark dark red brown color with a small tan head that dispates quickly. Tastes slightly of raisin, yeast darker fruit and also a nice cream feel that has chocolate and coffee in it. So far my favorite beer yet

Oct 7, 2008 Aroma of malt and spicy yeast. Pours dark ruby brown with light head. Flavor of raisins, ginger, figs, yeast and subsides into warm smooth malt (coffee and chocolate). The taste lingers wonderfully.

Oct 5, 2008 Quite a treat, found at Whole Foods Arroyo. Poured a dark brown with no head. Flavors of ginger snap cookies, oatmeal cookies, and a variety of sugars and spices. Finished with a tangy black cherry. Wasn’t overly thick, and didn’t have much carbonation on the tongue. The sweet and sour made for a nice balance.

Oct 5, 2008 Bottle from Hi-TImes. Pour is very dark auburn/brown, like prune juice or cola. Absolutely ZERO head, nothing, not even any residual on the rim. Nose of rosemary, earthy fruit and cola. Flavor followed the nose, very rich on the outset but dies quickly, again, there was not one bit of carbonation. I’ve seen people mention that there is very little, but this bottle was completely devoid of even a bit of carbonation. Rich and full mouthfeel, but again, it is very fleeting and would benefit from a touch of carbonation. It seems like there might be a problem with this batch, but I’m going to try another bottle to make sure.
