Pour out of bottle, thanks Phil! Dark reddish pour with white head, aroma brought notes of caramel, toffee, hints of red fruits into a bit of orange peel, slight grass and pine like notes in there as well. Taste was a mix of grass, pine, hints of orange into a bit of caramel, toffee, hints of bread, finishing slightly sweet, fairly bitter.

Deep amber red, one finger slightly red head. Smell is vibrant and super juicy with lots of citrus and tangy yeast notes, some caramel. Taste is woody, spicy, charred oak and roasted malt, oats, some citrus. Starts sweet, finishes dry. Refreshing fizzy palate.

22 oz bottle pours a deep mahogany with big beige head and good lacing. Aroma is full of dark fruits and Belgian yeast. Taste is sweet. Body is full to medium with slight carbonation and a slightly soapy mouthfeel. This big beer did not disappoint at all.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 ryecatcher (1065) - Bridgeport, Chicago, Illinois, USA - JAN 25, 2015
Pours a deep amber, hazy, massive off-white head with ridiculous retention and exceptional lacing. Nose is big crackery malts, resinous pine, hints of Belgian yeasty funk, some caramel, candied orange peel. Mouth is big and sticky, lots of moderately sweet malty character underpinned by a tanniny bitterness, some honey, caramel, pine, grass. Not sure if this shouldnt be qualified as anything aside from an Imperial Red (in RB speak... an American Strong) or a DIPA, because other than a touch of aroma in the nose, thats exactly what this comes across as... all Im really getting is hops and malt. Not saying it isnt good or drinkable, but this thing tastes about as Belgian as Egg Foo Yung.

Tap at the taproom. Deep reddish amber pour with a clingy frothy light beige head. This is a really cool beer. Sweet juicy citrus notes playing off a caramel/boozy sweetness plus some spicy hops. Melds together well. Interesting and delicious.
