3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle from EithCubes. Deep, hazy golden pour with a diminishing white head. Nice lace on the glass. Vanilla aroma with candyish pils and some rosy alcohol notes. Faint spicy presence. Flavor has more alcohol that comes through quite sweet and enhances the malt. Vanilla is still there and some light cherry. Body is quite full and the carbonation is light. Sweet finish. Overall pretty good, but the palate drags it down. Could be drier for me.
2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draft at Khyber Pass. Hazy orange amber. Fizzy head disappeared quickly. Despite the booziness, feels like a watery Trippel with earthy hops. Unusual, but I can not say I really enjoy it. Can see it improving with age. The fuzzy edges need to be refined.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Received in trade from. Greatly enjoyed this beer. Been awhile since I had this style. Nice aroma but I can’t identify - springtime. Apple? Gold honey pour with lots of lacing. Palate is med and soft. Taste is slight fruit and dries at end. Niiiiice
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
12 ounce bottle. Pours a hazy gold with a small white head. Aroma of yeast, spice, and banana. Taste is Belgian yeast, caramel, spice, and vanilla. Not sure of this one.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Poured from a 12 ounce bottle thanks to Ramy! Pours a hazy orange copper with a thin white whispered of a head that likes to stay around. The first impression I get from the aroma is banana that moves to a hint at coconut. The taste is a vanilla, banana, bready concoction. Bready and peppery in the finish. Not bad.
3.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Very earthy, thick, good, not too sweet. Would get again in winter. Bigger alcohol.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Liked this one a lot. Very strong banana nose and taste. Nice tripel spiciness. Etoh was a little over prevalent. Would be recommendation of choice for river horse beers I’ve tried so far. Beer was a lot more affirmative than their other beers - bolder flavor profile.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Spicy yeasty aroma with some sweet notes, too. Spicy, cloves, yeast, and some sweet sugars and malts, too. A nice bite of yeast on the finish. Pretty decent beer. Doesn’t feel 10%. One of my favorite strong beers to buy in bulk.
2.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle. Hazy golden yellow color, tiny white head. Aroma of peppery straw. taste is sweet, boozy caramel with a bitter finish.
1.1 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 2/20
I was actually upset by this beer. Now, I’m a huge fan of Belgian style, but the wheat feature in this brew honestly made me want to vomit. I don’t mean to say that it’s not great, it’s just not my style. I don’t drink wheat beers. But this brew masquerading as a delicious dark beer tricked me. I’ve actually even dumped a few of them.
