3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours a medium peach amber with a thinning white head fades to a film- little lace. Aroma is peppery, anise/licorice almost cardamon like, sweet and syrupy. Very sweet flavor- sgary, carramel syrup, toffee, fruity- pear and apricots, candi sugar-like, spicy peppery, citrus- orange rind and zest- and a sweet finish with some more orange in the aftertaste dna back of the throat. Too cloying especially for a tripel. Carbonation is low- not dry, wierd spiciness, and just off.

12oz bottle, from Capone’s (Norristown, PA). Pours medium amber, capped with a small white head. Aroma of spice, white pepper, citrus, and some candi sugar. Flavor is on the sweet side with candi sugar and honey, with a hefty dose of spice. Mouthfeel is thick and syrupy. Long, spicy finish, mainly anise. A bit heavy on the spice for me.

Growler from the Brewery. Pours a hazy, golden amber color with a small slightly off-white head that diminishes quickly but lasts throughout as a thin coating. Minimal lacing. Aroma is of cloves, anise, and bubble gum. Initial flavor is malty sweet with the spices of cloves and anise coming through. Finish is somewhat dry, warming and short. Medium bodied, soft carbonation.

Thanks Dr. Jay for saving me one of these little gems. Virtually no carbonation and light golden yellow with no head. Yet tasty for sure. Alcohol knocked me over for the rest of the aft, nice spiciness(clove, orange peel, bannana yeast, licorice, corriander), medium mouthfeel.No question that over time these bottles lost carbonation.
1.3 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20
12oz. Bottle: Aroma of new vinyl (plastic), yeast, peaches, and spices. Pretty terrible scent. Poured orange/amber in color with a tiny, golden head that disappeared immediately. Cloudy. Full of tiny particles. Flavor is medium sweet. Tastes of honey, lavender, yeast, anise, and plastic. Medium body. Chalky texture. Soft to average carbonation. Sweet, fruity, spiced finish. By far the WORST in the Scratch series so far.

i liked this yummy guy. Nice body, has a nice bit of a sweet aroma, nice flavor, maybe a bit citrus and juniper or something like that, fine brew.
3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle: orangeish with a foamy white head, aroma of yeast, banana, nice sweet smell, taste is a bit of a surprise in that it is fairly spicy, also has yeast and honey flavors, a bit of a warming feeling in the throat as well. Pretty decent beer.

12 oz bottle purchased from Capones. Pours a slightly thin bodied orange with an average size quickly dissipating white bubbly head. Aroma has lots going on with lots of sugar, molasses, bread, alcohol, mint and grains. Full bodied with average carbonation and only slight alcohol warming from the 10.2%. Flavor of pepper, bread, alcohol and slight balck licorice. A pleasant abbey and I might have bumped the score up slightly since this is a style I have really been enjoying lately.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
An interesting brew... pours golden and slightly cloudy, but lack head retention. aroma is rootbeer, pepper, and back notes of citrus. flavor is intriging. more rootbeer with with spices. I guess that’s about it actually. I think its more enjoyable than the score recommends though. medium bodied. overall its pretty good.
