Le Corsaire La Tombe

Brewed by Microbrasserie Le Corsaire
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Lévis, Canada

Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip, Tumbler

Sample tray. Alcohol and light caramel scent. Flavour is cloves, alcohol and caramel. Not pleasant, too much spice.

My Bottom Line:
Orange peel, cloves and black pepper allusions round out the spice bouquet of this doughy and clever Belgian-style Strong Ale.

Further Personal Perceptions:
-A veil of foam tops the clear orangey copper.
-Bubblegummy phenols also protruded in the nose.
-Herbal hop bitterness follows the spice wave.
-Even though the spices are expressive throughout, I never found them too intense.
-Lean caramel sweetness is about all the malts contribute.

On tap at the brewpub.
