a deep mahogany pour with about a finger of head which quickly diminished.

smells of dates, nutty, banana, a slight hint of alcohol comes through in the end.

sweet taste of brown sugar up front, followed immediately by a roasted nut/caramel flavor, raisins. very tasty!

medium body with slight creamy feel on lips, nicely carbonated throughout pour keeps it fizzy on palate/cheeks.

a very nice sipper! comes in a beautiful looking bottle, pours very nicely with a very reflective (in the light) deep shade of mahogany. smells and tastes wonderful with a nice even balance of fruits and nuts. a great beer by pretty things.

Bottled 8/2012

Poured into a Parrish Brewing snifter

A - deeper amber in color but did get some light shining through. Poured a slight one - finger head

S - Got the two Belgian Abbey yeast strains with some darker fruits like date and fig as well as some candied sugars.

T - similar to aromas. Sweet dark fruits like figs but also got a little pear and biscuits. Other than that, pretty simple for what I am used to from this style.

M - Good taste, but not much going on. I lime that in sometimes you get too much thrown at you but this stays on the simpler side. Very little to no carbonation. I would'vd liked a little more in this area.

O - Just a simple, nice-tasting quad. Could have used a little more complexity but its good enough to get again. It just wouldn't be at the top of my list.

August 2011 Bottle Date, enjoyed 4/28/13

A: The beer pour out of the bottle brown in color that looks decent clean and allows a lot of light to peer through. About two fingers of off white head builds up, but only waits around for a few minutes. No bubbles are noted. 3.5

S: The aroma is very sweet, with some dark fruits coming through although I wouldn't describe this as fruity. It's musty, with esters and Belgian yeasts playing the strongest notes. 3.5

T: The taste is very sweet, but otherwise balanced. The candied sugar, yeasts, spices, and a caramel character all come together, but can't quite balance out. I'm left with an aftertaste that isn't great, but that I don't particularly like. 3

MF: It's too thin and below average on the carbonation front. The drinkability is injured by the bad aftertaste. 2.5

O: It's good, but doesn't stand out in this style. Would have benefited from the dried plums they stopped adding about a month before this came out. 3
