Victory V12

Brewed by Victory Brewing Company
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Downingtown, Pennsylvania USA

Great brew... poured at reddish caramel color. Had a higher level of carbonation than I would have expected from a strong belgian... and I typically do not like a lot of carbonation, but they pulled it off fairly well

Poured a hazy amber wth an off white head that dissapated and left no lacing. The smell has a hint of brown sugar, cloves and maybe molasses but the ethanol smell is overpowering to all other smells. The flavor is strongly alcohol-y and leaves a horrible after taste. We did not age this beer longer than 2 weeks though 5 years is recommended on the bottle. May have tocellar this one and try it again.

750->Trappist: Pours a large, off-white head on top of a murky, amber body.. Malt aroma is of molasses, hops of flowers, and perhaps some spruce with a light yeast/bacteria aroma. The body is medium, the texture is sticky and there is some carbo. in there. The flavor’s duration is short, being lightly sweet. I would definitely consider this an indulgence beer, not only based on its body, but as well its alcohol content. Good creation by Victory, but not their best IMO.

Obviously my ultimate beer. heavily malty. Grain, toasted, nutty, caramel, mild coffee, wonderful flavor. heavily hoppy, perfumed, piney, resinous, grapefruit, lime signatures. doughy, spicy, yeast flavors. banana, apple, white wine, oak cask, allspice, alcohol, paper, and sulfur flavors throughout. Banana overall. Very carbonated. off white head with no longevity. clear yellow, amber, orange body. deep. lightly sweet, moderately acidic, heavily bitter, and quite sour. salty, acetic aftertaste. medium to full body, dry, creamy, fizzy and lively carbona, with astingent, alcoholic finish. An absolutely fantastic amazing creation.

Pours a clear dark copper body with a minimal white head. Aroma is sweet bubblegum, orange, caramel and some dough. Flavor is orange, bubblegum sweet, caramel, dough and fruity. Finishes very citric and long with a slight alcohol burn. Really the only time the alcohol is apparent. Full body, sticky texture. I could drink this one all the time.

Pours cloudy but translucent red-orange-brown with swirly head. Smells of yeast, bread, sweet; tastes pleasant, slightly spicy with a cotton candy finish; malts well balanced and pleasant.

Draught: Sweet aroma. Smells of yeast, bubblegum, and malts. Poured amber in color with a medium-sized, dense, creamy, off-white head that lasted throughout. Lightly sparkling. Clear. No lacing. Medium sweet flavor. Tastes of alcohol, spices, malts, yeast, and pepper. Medium body. Smooth texture. Soft carbonation. Sweet finish. Very drinkable for 12%ABV, with only a bit of alcohol warming to it.

Have you ever read comments and wondered if you’ve just had the same beer??? That is undoubtedly the case here. Read the label twice just to be sure!!! Burnt nectarine with incredible carbonation and a head that begins big but settles to a stubborn 1/4 inch. Lacing, no. A solid coat down the glass...ABSOLUTELY!!! Grape, citrus, and candy-sweetness on the nose. This tastes of dusted sugar orange wedge gummies. There is a slight hint of alcohol in the flavor but it is most noticeable in the belly. Warming, heavy...good!!! Wish this was available in AZ!!!
