Quite cloudy amber liquid with a taller beige head that diminishes quite quickly. Sweet caramel with a touch of dark candi in the aroma. Nothing real strong, just somewhat mild, in a relaxing sort of way. Dry caramel flavors with a lightly woody and wheat undertone. Agree with the other assessments that this does have a mild Belgian quality, lIkely from the yeast. Light fruit in the finish, with raisins and a touch of melon. This reminds me of there base brew for the old belgian raspberry.

Jun 22, 2009 chemical taste. Some other alcohol hints and sweetness very odd. But looks good in the glass

Apr 7, 2009 Pours a murky golden with a thin white head. Aroma is odd. Pleasant bourbon and ripe peaches one moment and very chemical the next. Flavor is chemical, super glue, nail polish remover come to mind. Different for sure, but not in an enjoyable way.

Mar 29, 2009 Oh God I hated this thing. Bottle at Zeke’s. Pours a milky amber color, really looks nice with a thick tan head and lots of lacing. But it’s all downhill from there. A horrid paint thinner chemical bouquet--I almost don’t want to put this into my body and everything in me shouts not to. But I take a sip...and there is nothing to redeem it! No malt or hop character to speak of. The tastes are, however, better than the aromas. It’s like drinking a steaming pile of rotting fruits bathed in acetone. It’s like the garbage disposal in your sink is getting revenge. If I were allergic to gluten I would stick with wine and vodka. F--- this shit.

Mar 27, 2009 Peach-amber colour with a thin head. Truly bizarre aroma - could be peaches, could be whisky, could be a garbage heap, could be a really bad batch of mofongo - use you imagination. Honestly, it’s probably just a heavy sorghum aroma, but it’s not pleasant. Raunchy sour sorghum character, like the fruity funk of a Caribbean stout but without the stout. This one is a major struggle.

Mar 15, 2009 Bottle as shown. Pours a cloudy yellow golden with a very small white head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is a skunky fruit with spice. Decent spotty lacing on the glass. The taste is a bready malt with some citrus and very watery. Not much going on with this one.

Feb 25, 2009 Bottle from Craft Ale. Pours turbid orangy coppery with minimal head and no lacing to speak of. Nose is citrus, bready malt, mild fruity and funky feety notes. Tastes wheaty bready malty, with spic, citrus, and mild hops, but is unbalanced and rather flat. Falls apart at the end, becoming a bit like a very diluted mead mixed with a few ounces of IPA. Forgettable.

Dec 30, 2008 16 oz. bottle. Deeply cloudy orange-peach color with a lasting eight-inch disc of bubbles. Belgian-like aroma of cheese, earth-spiced tart apples and bananas baked in brown sugar. Tastes of funk, peppermint stick, cardboard, banana, and apple cider. A bitter medicinal finish of cardboard, minty tongue depressor and lemon coughdrop. Light-medium body is fizzy and finishes very dry.

Dec 14, 2008 Hazy yellow to amber with a thin white head. Aroma of toasted malt, sorghum, banana and other assorted fruits and some sweet malt, er, millet. Taste is in a word… strange. Sorghum, fruit, mildly metallic, mildly fruity. Church wafer aspects creep into mind. Kind of thin. Good thing they put it into a big 16oz bottle because it is a bit tough to drink the whole thing. 8 oz would have been more than enough.
