Aug 12, 2008 Bottled at RBSG thanks to Christian! Poured deep medium caramel with a swirly cap of beige head. The aroma picked up toasted lighter fruits, showing plenty of oxidation.. darker fruit and caramel came on the second wind.. quite sweet overall. The flavor was sweet again with caramel and medium-skinned fruits paired with spicy lighter fruit skins and some raw alcohol.. finished dry and spicy with some tart and yeasty notes. Medium-bodied and a bit more sour than I’d like.. interesting evolution.

Jun 27, 2007 Orange-dark amber in colour, off white coloured head, average retention, good lacing. The aroma starts off quite sweet, lots of fruit (apples and some peach), lots of yeast, bready, really fresh. The flavour is yeasty upfront, lots of apple tartness, good fruit sweetness, very light spice, a rather unusual sourness although this is a good thing. Tart mouthfeel, medium body, high carbonation. Finishes long and tart, lots more fruit, dry. This is good, a different take on a double. I’m liking the angle that they take with this one.
