Not bad, but I hoped for a little more. Nose of yeast, apple/pear, and vague sweetness. I like someone else’s bubble gum description, and I’ll go with that. Round fruit flavors like in the great Belgians, ranging from apples to raisins. Fairly strong hop bite and some clove-like spice notes. So why is this beer significantly worse than the Rochefort 8 I had last night, despite the similarities? I guess you’ll have to ask Rochefort! I can’t really describe why in words.

Amber in color with light, tight brown head. Aroma is apple-pear, and lightly tart with a bit of caramel and some spice. Taste is standard quad, but somehow lighter than I expected, and I can almost feel the alcohol evaporate on my tongue. Spice abounds, and kicks to the finish along with the alcohol. $13/22oz

Bottle. Nose is intense fruit. Lots of peach, pear, apricot, cherry. Syrupy sweet. Foamy head, deep amber beer. Sweet, with a thick palate. Cherry heavy, caramel, strong alcohol presence, but contained. Nice all around.

Wow. Nose that went from alcohol to pure caramell candy. As the head dissipated, some fruit crept out. Taste was of some caramel, then bananas and apples and cloves. Buttery, literally buttery mouthfeel. Slick, buttery finish with apples. Maybe some brandy in there. Impressive. Dare I say best American Belgian style?

Medium brown color with a thin off-white head. Aroma was a malty mix of sugar notes, spices and some alcohol. Flavor was initially sweet with almost a syrup quality, nice bread like notes started to balance out the sweetness, and the beer finished with a hoppy, peppery alcoholic bite. really good.

From the bottle pours brown with very little head. Very spicy flavor with hints of alcohol in the finish.

Pours a dark golden color with a white head. Has excellent lacing. Has hints of dark fruits, caramel, oak, and raisins. Brew gets better as it gets warmer. A lot of the flavor is masked when right out of the frig. The alcohol is masked well. Finshes medium bodied with a sweet spice flavor of caramel on the tongue.
