Nov 20, 2009 In short: A sweet big brown ale of some kind. Good even if a bit “off”
How: Bottle 22oz. Consumed relatively fresh about 3 months after purchase.
The look: Clear dark ruby boddy topped by a small long-lasting white head
In long: The light nose is toasted bread, cranberries and a little earthy. Taste is caramel, liquorice candy (red and black), almonds, a bit sweet, leafy hops, molasses, citrus fruits, dirt, red meat. Lively body despite a soft carbonation. Came through as some kind of bastard cross between a light barley-wine and a brown ale. Most of it was ok except for that meaty flavour that bothered me a bit. I liked it even if it was a bit strange. Pike Pub & Brewery is like the Dalai Lama and David Letterman comedy duo. They make a strange tandem.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
