Hand bottled sample from the brewer via Weeare138.
Poured a medium brownish color with an averaged to smaller sized off white head. Aromas of yeast, spices (I got mostly cardamon and corriander), light sugar, and light alcohol. Tastes of spices, caramel, perfume, and lighter fruity tastes. Thinner body with a light alcohol finish.

Much thanks to grassrootsvt for this hand bottled beer from the brewer!
Appears a dark amber with a lush off white head that falls into a thick collar and leaves nice lacing all around the glass.
Smell is of a true Belgian brew with some nice perfumey spices of cardamom and coriander. Perhaps a hint of cinnamon as well.
Taste is of a Belgian hybrid that has been spiced nicely. A tiny bit of perfume but a well done brew.
Mouthfeel is of a peppery spicyness that highlights that aforementioned spices. The only thing that would make this better(just IMO) is a bit more sugary malts to mellow out the wonderful spices that jump out a bit too much like a chef that accidently put just a tad too much in at once. Personally, I like spice though. The greatness is there though. Mild tweaking will make this one a completely insane kickass brew.
The abv is slightly noticeble but again, with careful tweaking, this has potential to be a world class brew.
