Bottle. Damn near impossible to open, I had to resort to a wine opener to get the cork out. Pours a hazy golden brown with a full white head that is very slow in dispersing. Excellent lacing left on the glass. The aroma is full of yeast, spices, malts, dark fruits. The flavor is excellent. Yeast, fruits, cloves, with a slight alcohol finish. Very well made beer.

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: Dec 15, 2008Smells like apple cider on a hot summer day. Tastes like a mix of that cider, and the smell from a mountain pass in th 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.
