COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
So simple in its creation, so magnificent in its maturity, this wonderful ale begins with Nature's most humble offerings, water, malted grains and hops. Our soulful yeast breathes life and depth into each brew. The steady hand of time orchestrates this alchemy into the splendid ale before you. Cheers!

Bottle Pours out a copper orange topped with a nice white head. Aroma of yeast, sweet fruit and a touch of hops. A very tasty brew more of the yeast and fruit tast. Along with the nice tast this brew has a very nice mouth full.

This beer was a little rocky. Bottle from BevMo Burbank. Normally, a deep-colored Belgian signals more of a round flavor for me. Not so with this guy: it’s a tough beer for a tough world. None of the darker fruit notes one might expect, but rather leather, deep spice, yeast and the nosebleed sting of alcohol. You taste all twelve, one percent at a time.

Beautiful copper color with a thick but quick head. Very thick. Malty with metallic taste and strong alcohol finish. Hops and fruit dominate the front with sugar in the middle.

Pours an orange/gold color with a thick head and a wonderful fruit/malt aroma. Mouthfeel is very thick, almost stout-like, with some spice undertones coming through a malty flavor. Watch out for this one, got me pretty buzzed off one bottle.
