4.38/5 rDev +4.3%
look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4

Pours a rich honey color with a thick, off-white head. Has plentiful bubbles somewhat akin to sparkling wine. Smells of sweet alcohol and hay fields.

This ale is not only well bodied, but scrumptuous. Heavy notes of fruit, sugar, banana, black pepper, and coriander color the predominant flavor. Backdropped notes of fresh herbs and tiny floral notes finish things up. The herbal part really reminds me of cilantro, which seems logical with the addition of its seeded parts into the brew itself; coriander. The finish on the tongue has a dry tingle that ends with a sugary sweetness.

A contemplative selection. Perhaps a raisin dressing stuffed bird would find its perfect match with this seductive gnome. Who would have thought?

A: Golden color. Good head retention and lacing.

S: Yeast, spice, and fruit.

T: Follows the nose. Peach and some pepper come through with a light malt backbone.

M: Light and nicely carbonated.

Overall: Great beer. The Smell is an enticing mix of fruit and yeast. It's very drinkable for 8%. A complex and enjoyable Belgian.
