Thanks to Mike for the sample. Poured copper in color with a small beige head. Aroma is generally sweet with caramel, toffee, nutty, and a slight bit fruity. Tastes of caramel malts, mild fruitiness, raisons, and some like oak. Alcohol warming in the finish.

Thanks to Blink182. Pours a lightly hazy amber/orange with golden notes and medium bubbly/creamy off white head. Aroma of sweet malt, earthy, tobacco, nuts, light oak and list Belgian easters. Flavors of nuts, tobacco, caramel, light Belgian yeast esters, spicy tea notes, light oak and some dark fruits.

Eh. A nice Belgian style. But a Grand Crue? I dunno about that. Thick earthy flavor brings a pretty high level of the funk. Lots of bitter edge from thick amounts of hops. Feel is good. And it is a nice one to drink, just not one of my all time favorites from Sixpoint.

[Draft @ Mug’s Ale House] Poured a murky red brown color with a small, off white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of dried fruits, light brett, vanilla, caramel, and light roastiness. Taste of plums, raisins, figs, chocolate, vanilla, light spices, roast, with a bit of tartness, and some alcohol in the finish.
