May 15, 2006 Very creamy foamy head on amber brandyish body, a bit of yeast sediment as expiration date in 2 more months. Fruity yeasty aroma and taste. Very creamy mouthfeel like whipped cream. Tagy fruityness and hops kick finish so that aftertaste is melange of malty, yeasty and moderately bitter. Very enjoyable American version that stands up there with Ommegang and Unibroue. Only 7%.

May 8, 2006 Ruby and gold with a HUGE head on it. The head lasts the whole glass. Tastes of grapes and nuts, with a bready maltiness. Maybe a little plum in there too. Quite a good beer.

May 7, 2006 A nice brew, nuts, fruity, but seems like its missing abit, maybe I just wish it was a heavier flavor. Easy drinking. Thanks to tjthresh for the bottle!

May 6, 2006 Draught at brewer. Poured a deep amber with an off-white head. Nice lacing. Dominant nose of tobacco. Truly smells like the walk-in humidor at your local cigar shop. Maybe some notes of leather there too. Flavor of tobacco and toasted pumpkin seeds. Wish I had taken more notes on this one as it is quite an intriguing ale. Bought two cases, so perhaps I’ll adjust these comments after I crack a few more.

May 4, 2006 12 oz bottle, via BA swid. Pours a clear chestnut brown with a two finger off-white head that settled to a thin film. Nice fruity ester filled aroma with banana bread, light toffee, some nuttiness, and a very light yeastiness. Flavor is fruity with lots of bananas and various dark fruits. Moderate alcohol and toffee on the finish. Medium bodied with spritzy efforvescent carbonation. Finish is slightly sticky. Not bad overall, but it could use a little thicker body and a little more yeast character.
