Thanks ktrillionaire!

Poured from a 750 into a Duvel tulip at 58F.

Attractive translucent amber color, with a half-inch of dense cream colored head that leaves plenty of thick, sticky lace.

The aroma is deep and complex - earthy, spicy, fruity combo of wood and hops. Orange-tangerine type fruit, and some caramel. The cigar box wood works great with the vaguely orange-like hops. Exotic, kind of along the lines of orange spice tea.

The flavor matches the aroma. A good dose of malt sweetness, with enough bitterness to balance it and get a dry finish. Very long, dry finish - earth, wood, spice, bitter orange peel.

Overly fizzy at first, but the bubbles are small, and with some swirling in the glass, the texture smooths out nicely. Finishes slightly watery, though.

Balance and dry finish make this very easy to drink a 750 of.

Excellent, interesting beer!
