Good enjoyable beer. wetherel (1565), Encinitas, California, USA Feb 24, 2008 Bonus bottle from the Epeeist yesterday. Thanks Chris! Pours thick cloudy dark amber. Cool looking with a frothy small bubble lingering head. Aroma is interesting with lots banana and bubblegum. Very strong aroma. A little bit of spicy bite on the sides of the tongue. Leans dry. Semi drinkable. BBB63 (4199), La Porte, Indiana, USA Feb 20, 2008 Updated: Jul 18, 2008Bottle and served in Aventinus glass: Muddled deep amber hue with a constant frothy head but minimal lace. The aroma displays all the esters I would expect from the genre with banana, clove, bubblegum, caramel, toast, fig, hint of smoke and some alcoholic vapours. The spicy ester just hangs around the nose forever!
The taste has a roundness of malt throughout with a slight burnt finish supported by a light-handed fruity quality and just a dash of herbal hops. The wheat really is noticeable in midsection and melds the flavor profile together very well. The finish shows off the spicy qualities of the yeast that lingerings on towards the chalky dry finish. A bit sweet upon the aftertaste, nougat and butterscotch or it would have been a 10 for flavor profile. The mouth feel is soft and somewhat chewy, dry and a touch warming.
Overall a wonderful example of a style I wish more brewers would attempt. Right up there with the best of the genre. GET YA SOME!!! aubreya (676), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA Feb 18, 2008 The color was opaque and medium dark brown. The head was creamy, thin, and off-white.
