Jan 3, 2009 Bottled in APR 07. Pours a clear amber. Off-white head quickly dissipates leaving a bit of lace around the outside of the glass. Big fruity aroma. Dark fruit and spice in the mouth. The alcohol makes its presence known but is not unpleasant.

Dec 27, 2008 Dark amber color with a big off white head. Very fruity and spicy aroma. Flavor is hugely complex with lots of fruit, spice, and a hint of hops. Lingering finish. Great stuff.

Dec 14, 2008 Updated: Jan 12, 2009Smells like apple cider on a hot summer day. Tastes like a mix of that cider, and the smell from a mountain pass in the middle of summer. A perfect themed Belgian Ale

Oct 31, 2008 Medium brown orange color with a white head. Citrus aroma, caramel, and some yeast. Medium body with alot going on. Alcohol is very present and lends alot of heat to the beer. Want to age some to see what happens.

Oct 27, 2008 Bottled 8/29/08. Pours clear amber with a thick head that subsides quickly but still provides nice lacing. Bouquet is pear, apricot, raisin, citric hops, and spicy yeast. Flavor is pear, raisin, maple, sweet malt, citric hops, spicy yeast, and alcohol. Very warming. Doesn’t cover the alcohol very well but seems like it would be a great beer to age since it is so strong. Solid beer.

Oct 26, 2008 Pours a two finger cream head that fades slowly to a thin layer leaving traces of lace. Nice clear amber color. Raisin/caramel/alcohol nose. Good carbonation and medium bodied. Flavor is sweet mix of raisin and alcohol with a bit of hop, finishes sweet, not cloying. Smooth and one to definitely savor with the very high ABV. $8.75 for a caged 750ml bottle from Tully’s Beer & Wine Wells, Me.

Oct 26, 2008 The bottle pours rich honey color with sticky off white head, settling soon into a blotchy sheet. As it warms nice aroma of figs and caramel, alcohol and bread crust. Very evident burn in the taste, plus mild roasted bitterness and sweetness, like an orange danish; spicy like black pepper or cardamom. It’s a bit syrupy, with yeast very present, sparking a medium complexity that warms slowly.
