Sugar and caramel on the nose. Pours a rich gold color. Very rich flavor, caramelly, tastes heavier than it is, and it hides the 10% well. Nicely done.

Aug 16, 2008 2008 Flour City Brew Fest. Pours hazy orange with a lacing white head. Sweet malty aroma with a caramel. Sweet and fruity and spiced flavor. Malty, slight yeasty and sweet finish.

Aug 16, 2008 Bottle poured into English pint. Pours to
a MASSIVE head-pour slowly or near a
sink. Aroma of citrus with slight notes
of vanilla esters that come through more
as it warms. Amber color with yeast
sediment. Tastes of vanilla, citrus, malt
sweetness and spices. Good as is.
saving a bottle to try the brewer’s
suggestion of aging.

Aug 9, 2008 12oz from Chevy Chase Wine & Liquor, D.C. The beer gets off to a decent start, with a bright pour and a thick head. Some floral and fruity notes mingle in the nose. But to me, the different elements really didn’t come together - the booze was too prominent, something emphasis by the lingering, almost overpowering sweet malts. It just doesn’t have the balance I crave in this style.

Aug 7, 2008 Bottled. a Dark cloudy amber color, nice white head, aroma is fruity and like the belgian ales. Remember me a La Trappe or something like that. Flavor is pretty much the same, no alcohol perception. A quit dry finish. Good One!

Jul 7, 2008 Fresh 1 month bottle. Poured this into a tulip and there was very little tan head that just laced the top but lasted a while. The smell and taste is beautiful with a bit cider, vanilla, and I get a bit of honey or spicyness out of it. Very good beer - doesn’t get close to the Chimay but good for a local guy here in Jersey. This is the best River Horse has to offer in my opinion.
