Poured a clear, dark amber color with a small, light tan head that left faint lacing on the glass. Aroma of nuts, floral hops, light spices, clove, toffee, and cherries. Taste was earthy, toasty, some caramel, dry, bitter, faint metal, black cherry, and moderate alcohol in the finish. Chewy mouthfeel, yet bone dry. I hope there is a way to try this in about 6 months, I love that Bavay!

Draft @ Phoenixville. Darker amber color with small white head. Aroma is a pleasant, subdued mix of earthy-smoky malts, some slightly sweet fruits, and just a bit of hops. Taste was a nice complex mix of smoky grains, sweet - almost bock-like malts, and a good deal of other complex flavors + sticky hop goodness to top things all off. Wow - I hope other incarnations of this are brewed by Sly Fox or someone......

was able to get a growler of this. nice malt flavors up front, followed but a slight peppery finish. orange colored, clear, almost no head. overall, a nice example of bdg.

Draft at P-ville. Deep coppery pour with 1-finger or so off-white head that didn’t stay around long. The aroma was caramel malty, somewhat fruity, with slight candi sugar and floral hints. The taste was caramel malty, on the dry side, with floral and spicy notes coupled with some fruit hints and some honeyish notes.

Sly Fox Phoenixville. Clear, warm-metallic golden-amber body with an ample pale head. Aromatic malty flavor with rich notes of fruit, nuts and caramel, plus light yeasty highlights. Prominently sweet in the flavor with well-integrated Munich malt signatures and notes of lightly toasted bread crusts. Moderately strong hop bitterness. Comes together very smoothly. I dig the dude’s beer.
