Victory V12

Bottle courtesy of BuckNaked. Pours slighly hazy copper/amber with a ring of bubbles for head. Nice strong yeasty banana aroma with lots of pepper? Initial flavor is malty with some alcohol burn. Then turns to fruit (banana,apple,pear) with some residuel sugar. Very nice overall.

Reddish amber body - slightly hazy - with a small white head. Sweet, fruity malt aroma with a a bit of spice, yeast and nice complement of hoppiness. The taste is immediately sweet and sugary. Alcohol is also very apparent in the flavor. The components of the flavor include apples, yeast, a modest amount of spice, and a little malt. The aftertaste is primarily alcohol with some malt. Overall a great brew, but my opinion is that it is just a little too syrupy.

Last beer of the night. 4 a.m. in the Hampton’s conference room. That room never saw so much fun... Light amber almost yellow with white head. Fruity aroma has apples, flowery hops, some spice. Definate sweetness to the flavor. Malt, spice with some fruit punch in there. Light, crisp palate. Very different from other Belgian Strongs. But very good, as one would expect from Victory.

This is really a delicious beer. Sweeter than I am used to with this style, but it works well. Very nice deep aroma and flavor. Fantastic.

Cracked this one friday night while watching the Sixers and Pistons. Poured a clear reddish/copper body with a very small, white head. Sweet apple aroma with some dough and alcohol. Flavor is sweet candied apple with a little punch in the finish. Alcohol had a lot of sugary sweetness to hide behind. Pretty good but definately a bit on the sweet side.

Aroma is of spices, malt, yeast, light fruits. Appearance is copper/red color with a white head that has excellent lacing. Good carbonation. Flavor is pears, caramel malts, sweet green apples, candi sugar. Palate is a touch too sweet. This is a good beer. I’d recommend trying this one given an opportunity.

Pours a clear lighter amber, small white head. Aroma of bananas, spices and orange. Flavor is malty, and sweet. Not bad. A little too sweet for me.

Cloudy copper to amber in color with a moderate head. Explosive aromas of yeast, alcohol, sweet apples and pears. Delightful. Intensely malty with caramel, toffee, sweet apples and yeast all intermingling quite well. Very full with some over the top alcohol notes. Very, very enjoyable.
