May 29, 2009 On tap at the Yardhouse in Long Beach. The pour was an essentially clear brown color with a thin white head and not much lacing. The aroma was lots of pine hops with some toasted caramel malts providing nice balance. The flavor is light peppery spice with a well balanced mix of roasted malts and piney, earthy, floral hops. The mouthfeel is thin and the finish dry. This stuff is good.

Dec 30, 2008 Tap at Stone Brewing. Deep amber-brown beer with a thick pillowy white head. Aroma is lightly spicy. A bit of light corianderish spiciness along with some Belgian yeastiness. A lot of clove and black pepper as well as a grapey/cherry fruitiness. Very perfumey nose. As it warms, there is a bright herbal component along with a soft earthy cocoaish quality. Quite complex and pretty tasty brew. The hoppiness picks up quite a bit as the beer warms up.

Nov 29, 2008 On tap at Stone. Pours a deep dark red-brown with a nice off-white head. Sharp aroma, of malt, toast, a hint of bitter hops, and pine. Taste is very sharp, of burnt toasted malt, hops, pine, citrus, and wood. Lingering sharpness. Tasty.

Nov 21, 2008 On tap at the brewery for the AHA rally. Deep brown in color with an off-white head. Aroma is spicy, hoppy, and a little phenolic. Taste is a brown ale meets Belgian meets IPA. A great mix of hops, malty roast and Belgian yeast character. Carbonated like a Belgian beer and it’s light and dry. I really enjoyed this beer.

Nov 20, 2008 A lovely beverage with more hops that most of the Bruery’s offerings. Dark brown in color, still has that noticable Belgian yeast presence, but with hops and malt stacked on top. Interesting - unlike anything I’ve ever tasted before.

Nov 1, 2008 On-tap at Stone. Wow, unexpected hoppiness. Pours brown with red highlights, crisp offwhite head, some lace. Smells dark malty and very dark, red fruity, earthy as well. Tastes of fruity, red hops up front followed by earthy, mellow and slightly roasty malts. Pretty nice, very tasty.

Oct 26, 2008 Tap at the Bruery. Pours a dark brown with a very nice tan head that fell to some very nice lace. Aroma is flowery, hoppy, roasted malt, very well balanced. Flavor is roasted malt, flowery hops, dark fruit and a slight tartness in the finish. Overall I really enjoyed this beer big time! I would love to have this one on tap at the house...awesome.
