dkoonce (880), People’s Republic of Athens, Ohio, USA Oct 29, 2009 This beer is hard to classify. Strong, with a complex flavor, owing to the coriander, wheat and belgian yeast. One of the better ales on tap at the pub. Gravelle (41), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Oct 25, 2009 Pours a dark amber with tan head. Aroma is herbaceous, malt, molasses. Very light and crisp. boFNjackson (1233), Portland, Oregon, USA Oct 15, 2009 Bottle... Poured deep brownish/ruby with a thick, light, tan head. Aroma of smoked malts. This one appeared light to me. Dark malt and nutty flavors, typical of a brown ale. A light hop character with a mild touch of sweet, earthy qualities and a hearty, smoked meat flavor. I’d describe it as a naked barleywine. dwyerpg (2519), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Oct 3, 2009 A nice malt aroma, a little sugary. This seems like a belgian dubbel with the candy sugar. Sweet, not too heavy. This may be their best that I’ve had. gracefullypunk (272), Washington, USA Sep 22, 2009 Pours a deep red brown with a beige head and lots of lace. Very little aroma, citrus, wheat, bubblegum, coriander. Hefe profile carries through with tastes of wheat, candy sugar, and some banana. Not impressed. Cole (266), , Alberta, Canada Sep 13, 2009 Pours deep brown. Tall beige head.Hoppy aroma lots of malt as well. The flavour is fantastic rich and malty with a great hoppy flash. Very dark. Molasses reallly comes through. Very nice. finish is dry and slightly alcoholic. can8ianben (903), Pasadena, California, USA Sep 8, 2009 I I was hoping this would be a lovely Belgian double, but found it to be a dry over malted alcohol bomb with not much else going on. A dark brown color with a tan bubbly head. An unimpressive beer. Maybe just not right in the lineup of beers that I was sampling at that time. darbish (81), Portland, Oregon, USA Aug 5, 2009 smells heavily of apple cider, with a solid backing of brown sugar and caramel. much darker than i expected when i poured it, totally opaque everywhere but the very bottom of the glass. flavor is very tasty and rich, but the flavor isn’t particularly "beer-y" which I think is a little disappointing. there is some mild hops and i can definitely taste a little bit of spice and molasses. flavor is a little reminiscent of a molasses crinkle cookie. fizzy and refreshing.
