I freaking love yeast in beer. This one really shows off the thick cloudy chunky yeast. The blend of golden straw color and orange chunks of yeast is nice but not amazing.

Rich caramel sweetness that enhances the spiced apples, plums, and raisens.

Smoother bready caramel with layer upon layer of rich dark fruits, apples, and a nice hint of spice.

The 8% here doesn't really get noticed, but the smooth and creamy body really does work.

This isn't my style, but damn it's good. A great example of an ok style.

Pours into my snifter a gorgeous golden color with a reddish hue. The pour retained a nice tight head with minimal lacing. The nose has a delicate spice with fresh-bread notes. Not quite clear, yet not cloudy. Very pretty.

I'm really diggin' this brew. Wonderful balance, clean finish. The high ABV was not evident. Refreshing...an all-season ale I could enjoy by the fire in December or on the deck in July. Once again, I will have to re-arrange my Top 5 to include La Chouffe.

look: 4.25 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25

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.
