The Bruery Partridge in a Pear Tree

Bottle shared by wolf at SL. Pours a redish color, decent head. Nice aroma of apples and some fruitiness.... Taste is a mixture between a quad and a barleywine. Lots of apples, cherries, other fruits and some sweetness. Really easy to drink for 11% percent. Medium texture, which surprised me for a 11% percent.... Really easy to drink and impressed with this hybrid beer

Pours reddish brown with yellow highlights. Aroma of brown sugar, and....cough medicine? Tastes of brown sugar, toffee, pears, apples, maple, and a certain pokey weird fruit thing....cough drops, maybe. Full and creamy body, soft carbonation. I wanted to love this, but it has that slight medicinal flaw that keeps coming out. Mostly good.

sample from the bottle at Dr. Bill’s Tasting at Falling Rock during GABF on 9/26/09... pours a dark red/orange... sweet nose.. medium body... the sweet malts really dominate the beer, while a bit of caramel and spice come forward.... very enjoyable.

Bottle from Paiste2002, thanks! Dark brown color. Malty nutty aroma wuith nutmeg and pear juice. Malty sweet flavor with pear juice, mango, cinnamon, nutmeg and some warming alcohol. Very pleasant beer, the fruity sweetness hides the alcoholic power. Good, but maybe a bit too onedimensional sweet to be top class.

Cloudy copper color no head. Aroma has a lot of booze with some sweetness. Flavor is a sticky sweet boozy bomb with faint fruit sweetness, some caramel and toffee cream.

(750ml thanks to mar) Pours a murky dark amber, huge oily bubbles. Nose is wet grass, alcohol, biscuity yeast and complex. Taste is also complex, spices, sweet malt but not caramel, there is also rubbing alcohol in the taste. Too sweet as well and lingers of sweet/bitter raisin with nose that I would describe as "off" as it warms. I really wanted to love this one, but only liked it.

Courtesy of fishingnet. Thanks Ben. It pours amber with a bit of haze and copper edges to go along with a thin tan head. The aroma is big and sticky with apple and pear sweetness, malt sweetness and some booze at the end. The taste is full on sweetness from pears and ripe red sugary slippery apples. By midway a layer of malt sweetness comes to the surface adding to the medley of sweet goodness. Nice drinking brew considering the big bold sweetness going on here.

Poured a red amber color with a small, off white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel malts, cocoa, dark fruits, vanilla, rum soaked raisins, and a bit of alcohol. Taste of vanilla, caramel malts, some dried fruits, candied fruits soaked in booze, sweeter malts, and a fair amount of alcohol in the finish.
