The Bruery Partridge in a Pear Tree

Dark brown pour, soft red hues towards the edges. Thin off-white head that falls quickly. Sweet up front, lots of caramel and fruit, spicy and rich, but with a lot of excess alcohol. This still needs to settle a lot, maybe you’re supposed to wait till all 12 come out to drink this one.

Thanks to Larry for sharing. Pours a slightly hazy borwnish to deep woody brown witha thinning beige head. Aroma is slight acetaldehyde and apple cider, sugary sweet, toffee, candied and dried fruits and moderate belgian yeast esters adn some slight plasticy phenols- earth and spice as well. Sweet yet earthy spicy balance with lots of mid-range caramel and toffee-like malts, but nothing too big or bold, a bit of sugary malasses and maple syrup come trhough and some more slight apple- and a rubbery phenolic plastic character as it warms. Ok Quad.

750ml from Bottle Trek. As with the last few Bruery beers I’ve had (at least those with relatively high ABV), the pour is distinctly uninspiring. An anonymous dark brown with basically no carbonation (a mild fart when the bottle opens, oops). Very heavily candied nose, and nutty as hell, with brown sugar everywhere and a strong yam note that this beer might have contracted from hob-nobbing too much with the Autumn Maple. Body is thin, of course, but the flavor is too blandly sweet and one dimensional, with none of the fruits and spices emerging at all to me. I’m very hopeful that the Bruery will get this right, as some of their beers are wonderful.

Thanks Jason for sharing. The pour is reddish copper with little carbonation, musters a light tan. The nose is sweet, smells like a dubbel, rusty, grainy, malty, yeasty, light alcohol. The flavor was sweet, rusty, malty, caramel, candy, fruity, sharp, biting fruit rind. Little carbonation. They need to fix their their bottling issues.

750 ml bottle shared by goldtwins. Pours a hazy golden brown with an off-white head. Very pleasant aroma of malt, caramel, dates, brown sugar, and a bit of alcohol. The flavor steps back just a bit from the aroma with caramel, dates and brown sugar all noted. Fairly smooth caramel silkiness at the finish. Some moderate warming from the alcohol towards the finish as well. Enjoyable.

Thanks to goldtwins for sharing - sticky sweet aroma, with some fruit skin tartness to balance it - a bit of cherry and vanilla - the flavor is a bizarre mix of strong sweetness and fruit skin tartness - a tiny bit of spiciness - the heavy sweetness washes out a lot of the potential character of the beer - quads should be sweet, sure, but they should be a lot more complex than this.

Bottle shared by goldtwins at a Bruery tasting. Deep brown beer with a thin white head. Aroma is loaded with sweet figgy/date character. Softly sweet with a little bit of light yeasty spiciness. Chewy dark brown caramel and a bit of rye/pumpernickel character. It’s good but its not all that complex. I want to like it, but I really don’t all that much.

brown body with a light brown head.aroma is figs.pears,fruit roll ups,and spice.flavor is much of the same with a surupy sweet finish.
