pours amber brown with little head. Overall seemed to me missing something. It does offer a lot of different flavours, a definite spiciness to it but lacked a little depth? Overall a niche beer for me. I think it would likely go really great with some BBQ but not really one to sit with friends and be savoured. Would by it again to have with some burgers or even steak.

Jul 4, 2008 Hazy brown reddish ale with a thick off white head. A sweet malt aroma with strong coriander notes, light pineapple notes. In mouth signs of autolysis and phenol. A sweet malt with strong coriander added. Relatively young bottle (less than 3 mo.). Medium bodied. Late November 2006.

May 2, 2008 Brown with offwhite head. Aroma is spicey and yeasty. Malty and bready with a decent amount of spice in the flavour. Well balanced but lacking any outright specialness.

pours a clouded brown into the glass, smallish off white cap settles to a surface lace
Aromas of toffee, spice, musty.
Tastes pretty much like it smells..toffee sweet malt, dried fruit, nutty-sour yeast tastes light hopping some spice..wet sweet finish with substantial warming....alcohol hides ’til the finish.
Drinkable enough, a mellowed belgian strong.

Oct 3, 2007 Good sized offwhite head of medium sized bubbles. Decent carbonation. Settles slowly. Aroma of sweet orange soda and spices. Very strange. The aroma is actually very sweet and is kind of a turn off. Color is a dark copper brown with a slight haze to it. Sweet flavor too with more orange. candy sugar and some nutmeg. This is a very strange brew. Very little alcohol presence and is almost flat in the mouth. Am wondering if there may be something wrong with this bottle. Finish is sweet with some lingering spice. Very one dimensional. Not a very good brew from a great brewer. Unfortunate.
