COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Deep golden hued, with subtle hints of vanilla, clove, and cinnamon. Fruity, spicy, and warming with a complex but soft malt character. Editor’s Note: Limited edition summer seasonal for 2009 but pilot batches were available at fests and the brewpub prior to this release.

Clear golden color with a white head. Aroma of lemon, and a little banana and spice. Very sweet, medium sourness, and lightly bitter. Not so good.

HogTownHarry (4809) - Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, CANADA - JAN 4, 2010
Bottle ( 22oz ). Shared by garthicus with me and blankboy. Clear amber, small white head. Sweet, boozy and thin aroma - an odd nuttiness, but mostly booze and sugary fruit. Taste - same, really strong alcohol, dry and yeasty, but in the background - really boozy. Thin, astringent, weakly carbonated, with a long dry, slightly sour finish. Ehhh - not great.

garthicus (2006) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - JAN 4, 2010
Appearance: Golden orange with a medium white head. Flavour: Vanilla, raisin, slight alcohol tang. Flavour: Super sweet, lots of vanilla, tiny amount of ginger, alcohol very definitely evident, some winter fruits and a long sticky caramel finish. Just okay.

Wow, over 10% and I tasted nothing of the booze, so, look out...easy drinking here. Not my style of choice but this was a surprise, I liked it.

drpimento (1695) - La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA - DEC 23, 2009
Interesting beer. I’m impressed. Poured with a nice white head and a little lace. Color is a clear amber. Aroma is a little mild; not much of the Belgian aromas, but nice. Flavors and body are on the soft side, sweet with bitter overtones. Alcohol is sneaky. Great body and carbonation. Finish is easy. Oddly in spite of the alcohol it’s almost a session brew.

(bottle - 22 oz) Managed to save some of this from when the possum in the garage battled my beer shelf. Bastard. Dark copper color with not much head. Aroma is sweet and malty with a nice hint of spices and some vanilla. Flavor is very big and malty. Mild spice but a ton of sugar and malt with some spicy yeast. I can detect very mild vanilla at the end, but mainly it’s sweet malts and light yeast. Some bitterness coming through at the end. Thanks to David for this one.
