COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
And so the Three Wise Men set out from the East bearing gifts of Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh. Along the Way, they followed a bright light. The Bible neglects to mention if they brought beer or not. Who goes crossing the desert without beer? How smart are we to believe these wise men were? Since Christmas is the season of gift giving more than receiving, please be a giver and share the Wisdom found in each and every bottle of our Gift of the Magi.

UPDATED: FEB 4, 2012 Gorgeous ruby red body under loose off-white head, low carbonation, natural. Brown sugar and rich citrus fruit nose. Wonderful brunt sugar and black cherry opening with an orange spice middle and grassy bitter finish. Very very nice. Medium fill to the palate and oily texture. Excellent beer, excellent!

After the first sample of ’Magi’ I was drawn to the dried fruit, slight sweetness and ’hidden’ bitterness of this Biere de Garde. Amber full bodied, strong alcohol content, but to my palate it was a smooth drinker.

Bottle at Petrol Stations bottle share. Pours a cloudy copper with small off white head leaving spotty lacing. The aroma is a caramel malt and raisin. Medium mouthfeel with a sweet hop and nice dry finish. Very good biere de garde from lost abbey.

SCP (53) - Montréal, Quebec, CANADA - JAN 19, 2012
On tap at Capone’s. Fruity and yeasty aroma. Earthy. High bitterness for this kind of beer. High alcohol flavor. I prefered it very chill than room temperature.

On tap at bradys pub. Light amber pour, some lacing. Aroma of sour fruit, funky yeast, spices. Tart, caramel malt, sour, some hidden hoppiness. Wild ale. Strong. Bit overrated.

BritAlesRule (167) - Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA - JAN 13, 2012
Opaque apple cider color. Massive rocky foam head that doesn’t want to go away. Hops and spiciness dominates. Rye, rummy raisin and dark cherries. Some oak and booze as well. Taste is bready with a medium to heavy body. Alcohol rears it’s head briefly. Oaky dark fruits and some mild hop on the back end. Not my favorite from the brewer, but a nice sipper.

sailracer (189) - Massachusetts, USA - JAN 11, 2012
Tap. Pours a medium gold with a medium head. The flavor is malty with strong alcohol flavor and a full, meaty mouth feel. It has an initial bite that seems to mellow as you progress through the beer. Pretty good overall.
