Bottle, bought @ Utobeer market stand, London.
Lightly hazy deep red with a fine, creamy off-white head on top. Fizzes away rather fast, but looks good while it’s there. Aroma is thick wet malts, some cascade hoppiness, light toffee, quite vinious and rather dusky. Low carbonation, rather creamy. Flavour is earthy, light hopped, rather sweet and vinious. Aftertaste has a good toffee caramel note. And stays for quite some time.

Cloudy dark amber coloured, medium sized off-white head, fruity alcoholic nose. Sweet fruity orangey hoppy taste with notes of yeast and spices. Alcohol is very noticable, and the finish is dry hoppy alcoholic. 9.2%.

Jul 1, 2008 Bottle, from trade with jbrus. It pours a next-to clear dark orange to golden body with a beige head. Hoppy nose with some alcohol, sugars and fruits, and some dried fruits and caramel. Sweet, fruity and malty flavor with some caramel and pine. A bit perfumed maybe. Long finish with hops and malty sweetness. Full-bodied and warming in the mouth. A belgian-brewed beer with an american twist, complex and really good. (080509)

Jun 4, 2008 Bottle at Depaas in the Hague. Dark red and brown colored body with a big white head. Nose of crystal malt and grassy, dry Cascade hops. Flavor of cherries and cedar wood from the caramel malt, but quite hoppy and sharp on the palate. Full bodied and rich, malty up front, grossly hoppy on the back with note of cherry and pineapple. Not abrasive or aggressive, actually quite smooth.
