Growler from the brewery. Pours dark brown with tannish yellow highlights, and a substantial but dissipating beige head. Aroma of raisins, pears, toast, toffee, coffee beans, maybe some cinnemon or ginger. The aroma is better by far when the beer has had at least 30 minutes to warm. Tastes of toast, raisins (and other dark dried fruits), pears, cinnemon, and a slight espresso-like bitterness. Finishes toasty with quite a good amount of roasted bitterness, and a lingering taste of lighter coffee and almonds. Medium bodied, feels light yet full on the tongue, and the carbonation is just right (high enough for Belgian, low enough to not be annoying). I can detect alcohol mainly as a flavor component, but there’s no heat on the palate. Good stuff, slightly sweeter than the Chupacabra with more fruity esters, but still equally earthy.
