May 10, 2009 Batch 1. Pours a golden hazy body with a white head. Nice chewy subdued fruits pear, banana, and raisins. clove and more spices. Sweet with bitter earthy undertones and this has mellowed out a bit. I noticed i rated it higher when it was fresh.

May 9, 2009 Batch 40. Pours clear golden, with a thin white head, good lacing. Smells of citrus, grass, apple, coriander, pine, and caramel. Medium-thin, velvety body. Tastes of caramel, pineapple, with some floral and grassy hop flavors. Medium bitter aftertaste, slightly dry. Pretty drinkable and delicious.

May 5, 2009 05/04/2009. 750ml bottle from beerstore. Way way way too much clove to be a serious Belgian. Taken as an American imposter it ain’t bad... drinkable but it does taste like 9% or more and it sure does lack subtlety and character beyond ’cheap Belgian strong ale’. If these guys have made 46+ batches it makes me realise just how good the first Emerson’s JP was. Respect to the Old Dick!

Apr 27, 2009 Bottle Batch 044 Pours a hazy yellow golden with a big white head. The head lasts well, and laces nicely. Has a wonderful aroma all good things Belgain. Sweet fruits, banana, honey and spices. Has a great mouthfeel and real good carbination. The flavor is awesome sweetness and spices dance around the mouth. Has a medium body and a dryish texture. Has a good solid finish and a good aftertaste. Yhis is just an awesome beer.

Apr 27, 2009 Nice Belgian clove flavor with not as over the top flavors as the Batch 23 bottle I had but hey this one has half the ingredients. If your a fan of Belgian beers this one will not disappoint. My bottle was a year old and had some yeast sediment in the bottle but damn that aids in the bottle conditioning and this one is not one to shy away from at all. I recommend trying all the RR goods.

Apr 26, 2009 Tastes like a solid Belgian Golden Strong. If I’d tasted this blind, I’d never have guessed it was a US beer, although there’s slightly more banana than one usually gets from any Belgian beer I’ve had. Tasty, moreish, but not mind blowing. My rating probably reflects my high expectations based on other RR beers.
