Aksarben The Heater

Bottled. This is NOT a belgian. I submitted the correction, but it hasn’t been taken care of yet. They set out to brew this as a belgian, but when they realized it tasted nothing like it they changed the name to The Heater and said it was not a belgian. Poured amber with a dirty white head. Aroma did have some belgian yeast with some sweet pear and plum notes and a hint of cardboard. Sweet malts with some small earth notes made up the flavor profile. Medium body with a slightly tart finish.

In the bottle. Dark gold to amber with a white head. Nice malty body with a good sour tartness to the midpalate. A candy sweetness also emerges followed bt a slight pepper tingle on the tongue. UPDATE 8/11/6: New name for this beer- it is now called "The Heater." The owner states it is his best seller. Has a yellow-beige head and pours a butterscotch amber color. A sour and floral complex nose emerges. Some lacing is present. Flavor is fruity and tart. A bit of pepper hits the tip of the tongue. As the beer warms, it has a bit more bitterness and much more of a malty backbone than the previous version. A very pretty beer in the glass. This is an improved product over the previous version.
