Early test of a beer I will most certainly be aging! Barley Maw! Dip some carrot cake in Ethiopian coffee and you will be getting close on the nose. The entire bouquet is a caramelized, myrrh version of that in an oiled, leather bag; although there is a doughy life to it that evokes freshly washed hair, with whiffs of Madagascar vanilla. Heavy coffee oils, bitter chocolate, smoked leather, tar, burnt caramel, black mushroom, rattan, blackened marshmallow, allspice, graham spice and dark tobaccos finishing briny. A seaside stroll at night through foamy pools. Can't wait to see how she ages! — 9 years ago

Light strawberry color. Strawberries and carrot juice on the nose. More strawberry, slight earthy mid palate, and then more ripe strawberry with sparkle, yeast, and acidity. Very enjoyable. — 10 years ago

Loved the almond-hinted taste, paired with the most interesting carrot mousse & uni "consommé" — 11 years ago
Black cherry, black pepper, plum, carrot, liquorice. Bigger bodied than its more famous next door neighbour CdP. Reminds me of much drier version of Australian Shiraz. — 8 years ago
Glows gold with reflections of amber. This has completed the typical Musarian transformation from primary citrus and green apple to tertiary apple-balsamic, toasted scone, dried honey, browned butter, and carrot halwa. Phenomenal length with persistent acidity. Distractingly good! This is still just barely into adulthood and will intensify and become more complex over the next few decades. — 9 years ago
Medium garnet to orange in color. Pumpkin pie, pie crust, carrot zucchini cake, cranberry, nutmeg, cloves. Medium acidity, medium sugar. So yummy! — 9 years ago
Another really well made and original Stone collaboration, this is a Belgian triple with a twist, carrot, raisins, vanilla Bean, cinnamon, but nothing over the top, just hints, delicious, but you really have like this style and appreciate the subtle hints that you get, some who reviewed this beer were disappointed that those notes described on the beer were not as much pronounced, but I think it is perfect, this is after all a Belgium triple with a slight twist, Very well done — 10 years ago
Light cold and crisp with pork butt, arugula pesto potato salad, and beet and carrot slaw — 10 years ago
So lovely; baking spices, resin, and notes of citrus. Torn between drinking it by its wonderful self or mixing it to make a beautiful martini. Not too sweet but somehow still smells like a perfect piece of carrot cake. — 10 years ago

Pretty much perfect with a roast carrot and blood orange salad with cumin crème fraîche and red onion. — 9 years ago
Paired with a Francis Mallmann inspired grilled meal of smoky pan roasted potatoes, grilled carrot and red bell peppers, salmon with chives and butter. After standing over the grill for half an hour some of the nuance of this wine was lost on me... But on day two this had blossomed with one of the clearest expressions of cassis I think I've ever smelled in wine. Deeply colored and scented, with blueberry, menthol, eucalyptus, elegantly balanced and long. In a happy place to enjoy now and over 3-5. — 9 years ago
