Great beer. Earthy and basement aromas frem the yeast. Brown with , big white foam. Medium sweetness and a rather special hoppy finish.

Bottle. Rich bronze color with a big tan head. Yeasty, berry/plum aroma with some earthy malt. Rich malty flavor with some earthy yeast, spice, and plum/raisin. Fuller bodied. Lingering light fruit and lots of malt. Nice, rich, and good complexity.

I got some light spice,yeast and some light sourness in the aroma.Pours a deep copper with a light fluffy tan head.Light malt yeast and a light sourness stood out in the flavor.Mouthfeel was a little thin with a slight sour finish.

Good sized frothy white head of fine bubbles. Excellent carbonation. Sweet and sour notes jump out in the aroma. Very fruity, with some sour grapes, light spices and wet oak. Color is a cloudy dark copper brown. Medium bodied and very warming. Light malts, spices and yeast. Sourness is not very apparent in the flavor. Big alcohol presence. I would guess more that 9%. Finishes pretty clean and warm with a lingering spicyness. Pretty good and very easy drinking.

Lot o’ yeast and light sourness. Copper body with a medium head. Medium palate. Malty taste with plenty of yeast and flowery flavors. Just okay.

Damn my laptop. Typed in a whole fucking review and the overly sensitive mouse area thought I wanted to go back. Fuck my laptop. Great beer. Re-rate Way too thick and cloying for my taste now. I’ll leave my rating as is, but if I were scoring this today it would be more like a 3.1 or maybe a 3.2.
