3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20UPDATED: JUL 27, 2009
Date: 3/28/2007
Serving: 10 oz tulip glass (draught).
Event: Drinks with the team after work.
Location: Winking Lizard Tavern (Crosswoods) in Columbus, Ohio.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Candi sweetness with various fruits, caramelly malt, and a little bit of alcohol.
Appearance: Clear reddish-brown with a diminishing white head, but it does retain a ring around the edge throughout.
Flavor: Malty, light Belgian-like fruitiness, slightly spicy. Moderately sweet overall with a spicy finish. Strong alcohol, but not hot or astringent.
Palate: Medium body, smooth, well carbonated (but not overly so).
Overall: Balanced flavors and very little bitterness. True to style and quite good.
Update on 12/15/2007: Sampled again from a 750 mL bottle shared by my friend Rob. Previous comments and score are still applicable and are more or less the same...

Dark copper, hints of mahogany, foamy off-white head that starts large and fizzes away. Cherries, cassis, cola, cough syrup, molasses, grain, nutmeg and leathery musty yeast in the aroma - class. Sweet and sticky in the flavour, with notes of Lyles golden syrup and bursting with tight carbonation. Finish is sweet and spicy, with some warming alcohol.
