3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 argo0 (9034) - Washington DC, USA - JUL 29, 2005
(22oz bottle) Medium beige head atop a hazy dark copper body. Aroma is moderately sweet, caramel, some pine/grapefruit, cherry, fig. Taste is moderately sweet, cherry, caramel, some grapefruit, light pine. Somewhat sticky medium-full body, quite drinkable. Very enjoyable. Warning: it loses much of its appeal as it approaches room temp.

This is a hearty version of Duchesse De Bourgogne. Yes, this is American and the other is not. Still, a hint or more of sour - yet a finish of bitter. Hits at least two areas of the taste buds. And there is a lot of sediment. Could this be bottle conditioned? Or at least alive? Could be my number three choice for that desert island.

Poured a darker and cloudy brownish red with an averaged sized off white head. I had a hard time picking out anything in this one, but I’ll try. Malty. Light caramel, bready, light oranges and some dark fruits. Light alcohol in the finish.

Pours a dark copper mahogany with a frothy light tan head. Aroma of slightly toasty caramel malts with a lot of tart vinegar and sauerkraut notes. Body is fizzy and thin with a slightly sweet caramel flavor and earthy acidic tartness. This brewery has some terrible infection issues and I hope they either correct them or stop brewing.

Burgundy, rose colored. Woody, smoky hop bite, jumpy, spiced wood and bitter. Very dry and bitter, punchy. Quite good.

Tap@Siletz Brewpub. Pretty thick and hoppy. Darker caramell toasty malt, with a huge hit of lychee and pine from thehops, i dunno perhaps i’m starting to like these overhopped US ales?
