pineypower (892), Pine Barrens, New Jersey, USA Jul 7, 2005 Pours out a cloudy golden color with a sweet warming aroma and a decent amount of foam. The taste is definitely smoother than Merry Monk’s and has some nice vanilla notes to compliment the beer’s natural flavor of fruit and alcohol. The finish is nice with buttery and creamy notes, a good beer, but I like Insanity and Heresey much better
WeeHeavySD (1866), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA Sep 25, 2008 12oz bonus from JCB. Pours gold with a bright white ring. Nose is sweet with a nice citrus touch. Taste is sweet with a lot flavor. I’m iffy on tripels and this is tasty. blipp (818), Grand Island, New York, USA Sep 18, 2008 Bottle. Pours hazy hold with a white head. The aroma is fruity, with peach, orange, and pineapple. The flavor brings definite bourbon notes, as well as peach, spices and peppermint. Very different, very interesting. puzzl (1823), New York, New York, USA Aug 18, 2008 12oz bottle, getting on two years old. At first pour this was brutal, but as its warmed its opened up and has turned into a fairly decent beer. Pour is a great gold with almost no head. Aroma is intense and very fruity, tons of esters, some booze and some toothpaste. Body is pretty thin, and some of that bourbon comes through in the flavor and blocks a lot of notes. Overall a bit tough to drink though not the massive failure I was expected by any means. bitbucket (1572), Kirkland, Washington, USA Aug 5, 2008 22, capped, thanks to ??? at the recent tasting. Pours clear dark gold with a white ring of foam. Lightly sour apple aroma, maybe with some butterscotch behind it? Light body moderate carbonation. Lightly sour and hot finish. This vaguely reminds me of a old cold and cough remedy: 1 jigger hot water; one jigger lemon juice, one jigger honey and one jigger bourbon. Tastes pretty much the same, except for the lower temperature in this one. I almost want to heat it up. after4ever (1752), Brier, Washington, USA Aug 3, 2008 22, capped. Cloudy medium amber with bright gold highlights. Virtually headless, laceless. No legs. Mild, orangey, a little bit of biscuit. Subued tart finish.
