Bottle. Thanks to Smokepot23 for the hookup! Pours a deep mildly hazy brown color. Minimal to no head. Flavor is rich yeasty malts, banana bread, ripe plums and pears, yeasty esters. Richly flavored, full bodied. Lingering caramel finish. Warm alcohol notes to finish. Solid.

I think this is the beer that knocked DaSilky out for 5 hours at the Quad tasting, especially after reading his rating! It did go a bit too sweet with toffee and caramel, in addition to some spice notes. Creamy smooth. I’m holding a few bottles as I’m sure they will mellow and age nicely.

Lots of sweet malt and fruit in this one. Pour is a hazy brown color with thin tan head. Caramel, sweet candy sugar, plum, syrup, and brown sugar. It’s really too one sided to me.

Bottle. what a seriously ugly beer. The color was just a putrid brown mud. The head was a mess of large bubbles, looking like the slime that washes up upon the shore of a vigorous ocean. The nose was strong..significantly yeasty with an apple-like essence behind it. Some subtle cider and spicing lay across it as well. Eck. Cloyingly syrupy mouth, almost non-existent carbination. the flavors were predominately apple-like with a plasticy bitter consistency that starts me wondering whether the rest of this beer is going down the drain...or at least, in my case, all over the dishes that are overflowing the sink...thing is, will i ever get those dishes clean if i pour this syrupy concoction on them...who knows. There’s also a flaming heat that lingers in the throat and stomach. What is that bitterness doing in a quad? What is that plasticy bitterness doing in any beer. This brewery never ceases to amaze me with their utter lack of craftmanship. People liking these beers have serious palate deficiencies. Wake up.
