4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle. [thank you, after4ever]
Pours hazy coppery orange with a small to medium, creamy, off-white head. Great aroma with lots of flower and spice notes on top of a yeasty and light caramel background. Vanilla, oregano, roses, tulips, oranges as well. Lowish carbonation, quite dry mouthfeel with fine creaminess. Flavour has a feel like Duvel Tripel Hop, but this is far more spicy than hoppy. Sweet maltiness with lots of vanilla, flowery hoppiness and a slight note of tarty brett character. The alcohol warms brilliantly without ever being too much. I think this is a beer that loses something from a small sample - you really have to get it in a big bottle, swirl it around and enjoy the spicy complexity - and the brett only slowly enhances as the beer breathes.
