La Caracole Nostradamus

Big boozy nose. Deep reddish brown body with a heavy ecru head. Very earthy character with a mild molasses maltiness. Soft sour yeasty character. A little to plain to justify the price.

A very nice Belgian strong brown ale. Pours a beautiful dark brown. Lots of carbonation. Nose is sweet, fruity. Pleasant, sweet, nutty and caramel in flavor. I’ll stick with imperial stout, though.

This beer tastes like a dessert. It is full of caramel overtones with roasted malts. The beer is very well balanced, smooth, sweet, and creamy with light carbonation. Fruit flavors (figs?) come out in the taste and aroma. The color is a beautiful dark reddish brown. The beer is great overall, but unfortunately since it is a sweet liquid dessert, I probably could not drink more than one 330 mL in one night.

330mL bottle - pours a dark reddish brown with a medium beige head. Aroma is caramel and various fruits (plum, raisins). Flavour is quite sweet with roasted melt, caramel, fruits, lots of yeast and noticeable alcohol, but very smooth. A fine Belgian strong.

Poured a dark caramel colour with an medium white head. Aroma is roasted malts and caramel. Flavour is very sweet with a well toasted soft maltiness, caramel, dark fuits and some alcohol. Smooth and drinkable.

Bottle 33cl. Pours a murky muddy yeast filled brown colour with a small size head and little carbontion. Smell is very onesided, not much there and smells a bit chemical. Taste on the oher hand is very pleasant and is a good balance of dried fruits and spices.

Nutty caramel aroma from a muddy brown pour. A half in of head laced nicely. Nutty caramel flavor with some brown sugar and a hint of smoky malt. Well carbonated gave it a lively mouth feel and a nice warm burn on the way down.

Bottle. Pours a dark brune body with a tan head. Malty with dark fruit esters, plum, raisins, and cane sugars. Caramel and some spicy yeast notes pepper like carbonation and a mild to moderate warming. Nice brew.
