3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20Poured up at GABF 2012 with a clear copper body that supports a nice looking tan head of foam. The aroma is sort of plums and red apples and black pepper and then some banana in the back end of the draw. So the taste comes off pretty normal for the style with sweet esters coming from ripe red apples and plums and then becoming molasses covered prunes that isn’t that strong but bridges the gap between the sweet ester start and the pepperiness nearing the end where I also get some yeasty Belgian like spices surrounded by a thin ring of banana notes.

on tap-offwhite-amber/copper. I like that this is entered in the BSA category even though the brewer is describing as a dubbel. A-fruity, banana, med malt-caramel/sugary. T-fruity, yeast-banana, spice hops, med malt-caramel/sugary. Towards med body-again, fits the BSA category nicely.
