Nov 4, 2007 Cask @ Brazen Head: Poured a hazy dark amber color with an off-white head. Light fruity aroma with some notes of Belgian yeast, chocolate and pine. I also get a little chocolate in the flavor. Hoppy middle with an increase as the beer warms. Dry and long moderately bitter finish. Medium body.

Nov 4, 2007 Cask at Brazen Head. Cloudy brown beer. Aroma is lovely. Fruity and quite grainy with a rich rye toastiness. Strong citrusy hop character, lemon and grapefruit. Sweet and spicy. Soft maltiness. Light phenolic spiciness. The yeast is pretty understated in here, only a bit of bubble gum and a touch of clove, but the beer is still pretty good. I think this is one that will be better on tap than it is on cask. I still like it.

Apr 23, 2008 750ml growler bottle courtesy of goldtwins. Pours a hazy amber with a nice tan head. Smells of citrus, wildflowers, some dough. Tastes earthy and lightly bitter with a nice citrussy finish.

Nov 3, 2007 Cask at Brazen Head - after having the Granpa’s Nerve Tonic the night before, I can honestly say that this looked and tasted very much like it - of course, this isn’t exactly bad - cloudy brown beer - fresh, hoppy, "yup, that’s sixpoint" aroma - rye is apparent but not powerful - tastes hoppy and lightly fruity - some rye in the mix - nothing particularly belgian about it...at all - a bit of dark fruit (fig?) and spice - another tasty, albeit homogeneous sixpoint offering.
