Commercial Description:
The second offering in our series of unique Belgian beers. This could just be the one that sets the standard. The many perfumes present (that’s why we serve it in a snifter) denote the several yeasts and spices used to make this special brew. Did we mention the sugar? Copious amounts of real Belgian candied sugars went into our kettle and came out sweet and high in alcohol. Enjoy it in the 10 ounce serving that brings out those great aromas while keeping you upright on your bar stool.

Brown color with a decent head and some very sweet aromas of candy and spice. Taste is smooth and sweet, but not overwhelming. Good Belgian Strong, but doesn’t quite match the better ones in the category - still a nice brew from a quality local brewpub!

This was my first beer at the Brandywine brewfest in Media. Copper color, sweet malts and some underlying fruit flavor. I kept coming back to this at the Fest and should have stayed away from it because the high alcohol ultimately go the best of me.

Aromarama! Boy does this beer have a bunch going on at the nose. Dark fruit, sugar like a mad man, and malt round the introduction to the brew. Flavor is much of the same with a smooth ending. I highly enjoyed it and poured my self 6 of them before I knew it.

Draft at the brewpub. Pours copper/ruby with a white head and great lace. Aroma of malt, fruit, hops, berries, cognac. Tastes malty, very fruity, with some brown sugar and caramel at the finish. Well hidden alcohol, and a smooth, dense palate. Well done.
