Cloudy dark ruby with a lasting white head. Toffee and butterscotch dominates a very malty aroma. Sweet and malty flavour with a bunch of cinnamon.

(330 ml bottle (stamped "11/2013") from Rising Tide) Pours hazy dark rusty amber with a couple of fingers of off-white head. Smells of juniper or something like that and spice of some sort. A strangish aroma. Flavor of juniper? and spice with a light sort of Irish Spring deodorant quality as well. Didn’t do much for me.

Nice looking 750 ml bottle from Cost Plus World Market..no cork though.
Only $2.79 on clerance.
Slightly murky amber coloured ale..with a nice thick cream coloured head.
Ok aroma, typically Belgian but kinda muted..doughy, some slight barnyard funk and a bit of fresh cut hay.
The flavour is a bit more livelly though..very spicy/peppery..some clove.Earthy with a touch of ginger.
Nice palate..well carbonated.
Overall a nice winter ale and very good value for that clearance price.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
State Line Liquor tasting. Pours a slightly hazed, deep orange toned brown with a small, light tan head that quickly fades. Smell of caramel, ripe apple, cloves, cinnamon, raisins, and some earthy hops. Taste follows the aromas with a fruity, baked apple pie flavor. Mouthfeel is medium bodied and highly carbonated, with some sugary fruit and heat found in the finish.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle... Poured amber/burnt orange with a beige head. Nose had lots of herbal, twig and root-like. Dry, low carbonation. Berries, junipor, mild heat, sticky sweetness, leafy, sweet lettuce. Some residual tannins, lots of spices and cloves.

Dark brown beer. Fruity and rich. Very drinkable but lacks something the best Belgian strongs have.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Tallahassee, Fl - World Market - 750 ml bottle. Noticed this before Christmas at $10.99 - waited until it was on clearance for $5.49. Murky dark orange pour, nice silky white head. Yeasty, citrusy aroma with a touch of rising dough. Flavor is mellow and smooth with some hints of licorice, yeast, backed bread and a touch of citrus in the back end - no real high points. Mouthfeel has good solid carbonation. Not bad considering the price.
