Air-cooled on our hotel room outside windowsill in Brussels. Caramel color. Creamy palate. Some dark fruit, brown sugar sweetness. Will be worth trying again after being cooled by some high-tech refrigeration.

Bottle. Poours a reddish, coppery brown with a thick, foamy head. Aroma is yeast, with spices, and floral notes. Flavor is excellent, with brown sugar, spices, caramel, and roasted oak. Mouthfeel is a bit bubbly, with the carbonation coming through nicely.

Bottled, 33cl. Hazy, deep reddish-brown with a small dense, micro-bubbled, beige head. Dried fruits, cellar, sweetness, some alcohol, spices and caramel in the aroma. Caramel, brown sugar, alcohol, raisin, prune and some spices in the flavor. Sweet, full bodied beer with a spiced finish. Really nice one. (060714)

For some reason, I haven’t been able to find this on the east coast. I finally found it at Bottleworks in Seattle. Aroma is very herbal with some spiciness. I get some mints in the nose along with a bit of bubblegum aroma as well. There is also some doughy dustiness with some nuttiness as well, but unfortunately, the weird bubblegum and mint aromas keep overpowering everything else. Moderately hazy mahogany color with a beautiful, frothy off-yellowish head and impressive lacing. Spicy, modestly tart beginning, which turns more roasty in the middle. I detect a fair share of woodsiness, nuttiness, and raisins. I also get a little of that bubblegum I was talking about earlier. Finishes, roasty and smooth. This beer is a bit of a setback from the other masterpieces they have brewed.

Aroma is fruit spice and YEAST, man I don’t think I’ve ever smelled the yeast quite like this before. Taste was a spicy fruityness, like citrus but sweeter no bitterness to finish with and I have to say I’m kinda dissapointed by that. Decent mouthfeel and a small but lasting tan head. Still a good beer that I would buy again.

Bottle. Murky brown pour with a fantastic, fluffy and lacing stable tan head. Smells sweet, spicy, yeasty, and fruity, a little orange peel with the malt. Rich, sweet and very spicy flavor, malty and only a tad warming. Also a tad too thin. A touch of wood with that delicious spiciness. Medium-dry. Very pleasant and extremely easy to drink, but needs more concentration and flavor.
