Avery Collaboration Not Litigation

22 ounce bottle shared by LooseCannon at the 2008 Richmond Summer Gathering in Williamsburg. Thanks Ron! Brown pour with a medium head. Big malty aroma with dark fruits, caramel and grain. Malty taste with notes of dark fruits, chocolate, caramel and an understated hop bitterness.

22oz bottle, At Richmond Summer Gathering @ Williamsburg. Pours amber in color with white head. Aroma sweet, fruity and malty. Taste malty, fruity and light hops with dry finish.

At the tasting session by Joes. A clear dark amber, almost brown colored beer, with a beige head. The aroma caramel and fruit. Also brown spiced biscuit. In the taste are some spices, like coriander, there is bitter and some toffee in the back. It has a nices gentle bitter aftertaste.

Pours a semi-transparent, dark, golden amber with a very thick, fine-bubbled, cream-white head that sticks around a while. Aroma is rich and malty with fruity and yeasty hints. Mouth-filling flavor is very toothsome, mostly malty with some hints of hops and undertones of bananas. Texture is pleasantly smooth, but this beer still goes down with just a little sass.

Bottled. Deep, slightly hazy, amber colour, mediumsized slightly off-white fluffy head. Aroma is caramel malts, some hops, slight notes of grass and overall quite sweet. Flavour is alcohol, caramel malts, some hops and mild notes of spices. A quite nice balance in the flavours.

Pours a cloudy amber color with a thin off white head and leaves some laceing along the sides of the glass. The nose is very spicy with a semi sweet finish. As you take sip it is very bready with sweet tartness that sticks on your palate nicely and leaves a lasting impression. I personally enjoy the spice you can really taste it on the tip of your tounge. The finish is sweet and has a nice hop bitterness that rounds out the beer making it very refreshing.

Pours a murky orange-hued brown colour with a dense cream coloured head that reatains very and has bubble sizes from fine to large. The nose is ripe with clove/banana, brown sugar, estery apple notes, caramel, possibly candi sugar, spicy yeast and aromatic Belgian malts. The flavour is very malty and sweet, with a strong banana/clove presence, peppery spice, alcohol, bready malts, cocoa and aromatic low-alpha hops. The palate is silken and almost devoid of carbonation, which actually works nicely with this beer. there is a mild cider-like flavour beneath this already complex brew. It leaves a nice warming of the chest and the palate duration is rather long.

Another impressive high gravity beer from Avery. This is a typical belgian style ale but it was very smooth and didnt have much of a kick you in the face alcohol feel like soo many other belgians, great beer.
