3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
750 ml. bottle. Bottled on 2/26/08. Pours an initially exuberant ,becoming thinnish, head of poor duration with minimal lacing over a slightly cloudy coppery amber body.....nose is of the usual Belgian suspects, dried fruits such as figs and cherries....tastes of more dried fruit, figs, raisins, cherries, the finish is slightly harsh and a bit overly astringent, this may be the 12% ETOH.....mouthfeel is good, with a lovely texture to it. I need to taste more from this brewery.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Bottle. Pours a cloudy orange-brown, with a foamy head. Very attractive beer. Aroma of caramel and dark fruits. The flavor is nice, with strong notes of caramel and raisins. Alcohol and brown sugar in the finish. The mouthfeel is very smooth, particularly given the 12% ABV. An excellent brew, very reminiscent of an Abt/Quad, particularly the Rochefort 8.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Pours bright orange amber with an off white head. The aroma is spicy and yeasty with some fruity banana. The flavor has some nice fruity esters, with nutmeg, cardamom, and other spices, and warms as it goes down. Nice. although I expected from the V-12 for this to be along the lines of an Abt/Quad, but it’s not. Still good though.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from RSVP. V12 reminds me of the belgian quads i’ve had previously. Pours orange with a white bubbly head. Spicy flavors of corriander, cinnamon, and pepper.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Notes from a tasting a couple months back.
Pours a sort of cloudy blonde. Aroma of floaral hops and faint alcohol, mild sugary sweetness.
Flavor is more exciting, Generally spicy with cinnamon notes. This is lightly sweet with a decent hop balance. Mouthfeel is silky with a minimal alcohol flavor.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
very malty aroma with subtle hints of apple and a thick white head and nice lacing. deep ruby to brown color with mild cloudiness. very malty with some fruit and a bit of spice. i can definitely taste the alcohol. heavy and silky mouthfeel with a slightly dry and long finish.
4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 18/20
Bottled in APR 07. Pours a clear amber. Off-white head quickly dissipates leaving a bit of lace around the outside of the glass. Big fruity aroma. Dark fruit and spice in the mouth. The alcohol makes its presence known but is not unpleasant.
