3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a hazy amber with lots of off white head. Aroma is very yeasty, with some citrus. Taste is much like it smells, very yeasty, distinct Belgian ale flavor with a lot more spice than usual. Cinnamon, clove, banana bread. Pretty complex goes down easy, but its not to light. Really great stuff. This biggest thing i noticed was the cinnamon, very unique.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
A spicy, sticky version of one of my favourite styles. Overall a bit too sweet for me, especially in aroma, and not as complex as I’d like to see for a Belgian Strong. Still, though, a beer I’d love to feed lagerboys.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pour medium brown, average and typical Belgian strong ale aroma. Taste is also typical, moderately complex. Decent, but not impressive.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a hazy amber with a large off white head. The aroma has notes of fruit, caramel and candy with a light sweet taste. The palate has a oily texture and average carbonation. Over all a great beer, and a good refreshing drink.

3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Slightly cloudy, brown pour with a hint of orange. No head. Very nice fruity aroma. Many different red and dark fruits. A very nice complex fruity taste but the finish is extremely dry. Overall, not as good as Trois Pistoles but still pretty good.

very well balanced but a little more caramelly and sweet than i would have preferred. reminded me of the trader joe’s vintage ale
