3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Draft @ FiftyFifty. Pours a medium-dark, murky orange-brown color; creamy off-white head with good retention and fine-bubbled lacing. Very chewy, sweet and generous aroma of Belgian sugars, juicy oranges, and white pepper; the lattermost helps to balance a generous, sticky middle. Full, sticky mouthfeel: huge amounts of unhandled, sweet Belgian sugar, dried oranges and malt-centered fruitiness; way too much overt sugar; hard to drink a lot of this; all but fortified. They quoted me a 12% abv on this one? Medium finish of toasted malts and bland Belgian sugars; a big sweet mess.
