This beer has a complex spicy nose with notes of brown sugar and plums. The taste starts with big spicy malt and alcohol moving to fruity in the middle and then an earthy, spicy finish. High complexity reminiscent of something between a dubbel and a quadruppel. Here is what brewer Aaron Inkrott says about this beer: The inspiration for this beer comes from the traditional French and Belgian farmhouse style ales; Bière de Noel and Saison. The malts used were focused on creating a complex malt backbone, with subtle floral characteristics from the Hersbrucker hops. The yeast is an aromatic Belgian Saison strain that produces complex esters balanced with earthy/spicy notes. This beer is best served at 45°F to 55°F.

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8
Reddish copper colored with a slight haze, no head or lace around.. Aromas of caramel, banana, brown sugar, and yeast. Very sweet smelling.. Flavors of banana and yeast, additional flavors such as toasted malt, plum/prune, and biscuit. The beer finishes with a peppery note and it does have a somewhat alcoholic presence presiding over its medium to full body. Overall it seems to be more of a Belgian dubel, but a nice beer nonetheless. The fourth beer of the Icon series, probably the best so far.
