Jul 6, 2007 Bottle. A amber beer with a tan head. The aroma is fruity, light lambic like, yeasty with wood. The taste is sweet fruity, yeasty, light acid. Medium to medium body with a sweet light alcoholic finish.

Jul 5, 2007 Bottle. An odd beer to say the least. It went through about 3 different phases as it warmed and opened up. Here’s the overall: Wonderful nose of cherry, vanilla, oak, sweet malt, caramel and toffee. Pours rich copper with minimal head. Tons of flavor developing: cherry, malt, spices, alcohol, candied dark fruits... Rich and oily on the palate. Through all of this, it never pulls together 100%. Excellent offering, but I can’t wait to taste in a year or two.

Jul 5, 2007 Bottle courtesy of Gurst. Pours a copper brown with a thin head. Predominantly fruity/hoppy smell gives way to a much more robust taste -- deceptively thick and strong based on the look and smell. Flavor is strongly vanilla and caramel with hints of spice, berries, and nuttiness. Extremely drinkable.

Jul 5, 2007 Appears a copper, semi transparent with a small, white head theat fades into a tiny cap. Small speckles of lacing are left around the glass.
Smell is of vanilla, brown sugar, light tartness, caramel, notes of cherries and raisins.
Taste is of the aromas but a definite drop from the excellent nose with the cherry note becoming more evident in the mix.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied, lightly boozy, with a caramel sweet finish.

Jul 5, 2007 Pours brown, moderate head. Thick mouth feel. Strong aroma of yeast and caramel. Flavors of caramel, fruit, alcohol, vanilla, and spice. Very heavy beer, but very excellent.

Bottle. Thanks Joebrew (I think?) for bringing this. This has the signature nose of a New Glarus beer. Some cherry, tobacco, caramel, vanilla, and light hops. Flavor is pretty decent, but to tell you the truth, I’ve had much better quads compared to this. Interesting take.

Clear orange coloured with an off white head.
Light acidic aroma of wood and brett.
Sweet flavour of wood, vanilla, brett and dried fruits.

Jun 29, 2007 12 oz bottle. Pours a slightly hazy orangey light copper with a thin lasting head and some really nice lace. Aroma has initial spotty hints of brett and funk, then some strong sharp syrupy sharp caramel malt flavors, sweet, almost barleywine like with an herbal floral hop quality. More sweet caramel malts, toffee, sugary sweet, some brown sugar and maple syrup- and just hints of brett or funk- more comes through in the aroma. Ok finish but a bit astringent and harsh- almosnt and cherry pit like. It almost seems as if this is filtered? Fairly clear and no sediment/? Not sure if this will or wont get more funky or bretty, but I sure hope so. Ok beer, but would be better with more funk. Kind of a let down when I had an aged JP maracaibo especial beforehand.
