[March 15, 2009]
Pint at the brewery. It always amuses me when I get strong Belgian styled beers in a shaker. Anyway, this is a rich ruby color with a firm white head. This smells sweet, I’d wager candi sugar was used. Also noted are bananas, cloves, and leaves. This is a sticky beer, certainly sweet. Not so sugary that I dislike it, but I’d have to be in a dessert mood to enjoy it. Blatant esters, clove, and sweet malts make this one up. It’s a very straight forward, blunt delivery of a Dubbel lacking deep complexity, but it went down pretty well.
