The beer pours a deep amber and copper in color. There is
nearly an inch of off-white to light tan foam that settles down fairly quickly.
The aroma is an amalgam of Belgian yeast, fruity esters, pine needles, dark
caramel, and spices. The taste follows the aromas, it bounces from malty, to
roasty, to estery, to fruity, to piney, to spicy, and back and forth again,
with a quite bitter and dry finish. It is medium bodied with moderate
carbonation. I had no idea what kind of beer this was, the can doesn't give much of a clue, so I was a bit taken back by the Belgian yeast notes. I can't wait to try it again and see how it hits when I know what to expect out of it.
Tried it again on March 24, 2015 and it is even better the second time when you start with an idea of what it will taste like.
