look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4
Appearance:
Amber-brownish color, thick looking. Lots of small bubbles. Thick off-white color head.
Aroma:
Lots of fruits.. Black cherries and ripe plum. Some sweet malts. Touch of spice, nutmeg.
Taste:
Fruity-malty up front along with slight dry tartness in the finish. Juicy fruit character, I'm getting cherries and plums, maybe some raisins. Malt is very creamy, bready, sweet caramel. Spice is not as strong as Chimay Blue, but it's very mild, I'm getting some hint of nutmeg and cloves. Full bodied, creamy texture. Light on the carbonation.
Finish:
Tart, slight dry, yeasty finish. Slight alcohol warmth.
Overall:
It's really good for its style, but not the best I had.

Bottle: Poured a clear brown color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of dry caramel malt with a bready yeast is interesting. Taste is dominated by dry caramel malt notes with very subtle residual sugar notes and some bready notes. Body is about average with good carbonation and light warming alcohol can be detected. I am not sure where all those high ratings are coming from. I was expecting more complexity from the yeast ester which I could find here and I thought the beer was too dry for the style.
