Objectively speaking:
Pleasant heavyweight that feels much lighter.
I like:
Very well extracted honey. Perfumey and enticing aroma.. Masked alcohol. Agreeable spiciness. Competent toasted malt background. Original yeast signature.
I dislike:
This would not stand out in a mass of great beers, but is delivious on its own.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
My Bottom Line:
Honeyed sweetness caresses nourishing cereals, as herbal ideas carefully spice up this tight and buxom strong ale.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A sheet of foam decorates the clear golden.
-Alcohol is not an issue at all in the flavor profile.
-The herbal signature is at once curious and familiar. As if Saaz grew in the Laurentian forest.
-This is not just another brewer that likes to play with strange ingredients; Baladin creations are skillfully put together and well thought out recipes.
-The finish is somewhat quiet and lightly sweet, a pleasant souvenir of part of the flavor profile.
