Strykzone (1459), Wood River, Illinois, USA May 10, 2008 A tea colored body with a smallish white head. A wonderful aroma of hop and plenty of fruit. That also defines the flavor. Dark fruit, citrus fruits, caramel, hop, and yeast. djd07 (724), Houston, Texas, USA May 9, 2008 On tap at flying saucer. Has a cloudy dark amber color with small off white head. The aroma is very hoppy and citrus. The taste is a sweet hop with caramel. A good belgian strong ale from avery. couchand (182), Iowa City, Iowa, USA May 7, 2008 Speckled? haze, some thin white head.
Thin, grainy aroma, somewhat metallic.
Thin bodied, lightly sweet with metallic lingering aftertaste.
Weak and metallic. Not particularly impressive, although I am fully supportive of the experiment. Try again, guys!
edit: I should add that the speckled haze was NOT non-flocculent yeast. It seemed to be a protein haze, just localized. ManvsCity (88), Redmond, Washington, USA May 5, 2008 On tap at Taphouse Grille, Seattle. Rich aroma through medium head. The body holds plenty of Belgian yeast flavors, toasted marshmallow, caramel corn. Good hop bite. A new favorite strong ale. Enjoyit (1697), Vadum, Denmark May 5, 2008 Clear amber of color with an off-white head. An aroma of sweets, caramel, hops, liqurice and malty nose. A flavor of caramel, toffee, malt and weak bitter notes. Sparky27 (1567), Phoenix, Arizona, USA May 3, 2008 Bomber. Pours a murky brown with a 2 finger creamy off white head. Nose is brown sugar, malt and peppery spice. Palate is dark fruits, cloves and pepper, with a semi-sweet hoppy finish. Medium mouth feel. Nice lacing. Decent strong ale. LinusStick (1831), Moon Twp, suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA May 3, 2008 A decent, if not predictable Belgian strong. Typical aroma of yeast, brown sugar and dark fruit. Pour was a decent semi clear light brown with a one 2 finger off white head.Taste was as the aroma suggested. Fruity and yeasty with a sweet sugary aftertaste. Not very much carbonation which hurts it for me. As it warms the dark fruit and caramel come out more. Hides the alky content wonderfully. Hank1980 (734), Athens, Georgia, USA May 1, 2008 On tap at Trappeze. Appearance is brown with a tan head. Aroma of fruit, sugar and sweet malt and some light yeast. Taste is a little more sweet with some fruit. Body is full and mouth is smooth. Finishes with plenty of sweetness.
