4.7/5 rDev +14.6%
look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5

When first poured the color was of a reddish amber brown with tan foam and some lace. The smell was very pleasant with a spicy aroma with a hint of citrus. Wow, the flavor had a smooth creamy, spicy taste with an orangy citrus flavor. After further sips, you could taste more of the thyme, hops and malted grains. I can't believe this ale is 10% alcohol. This is one smooth Belgium Ale with such high alcohol content. What a pleasant surprise. I need more of this special brew!

A brew I missed out on taking advantage of when I lived out west... Thankfully my BA bro joemcgrath27 was looking out for me, huge props!

A - Pours a cloudy ruby red, finger of head with some retention and no real lacing.

S - Scent is dominated by musty vineous grapes, sugary caramel, loads of candied apple, hints of cinnamon and cloves.

T - Much like the nose, the vineous grapes, caramel come through alongside candied apple, spices linger with cloves and cinnamon, hints of musty cardboard lingers on the finish.

M - Medium bodied, smooth and wet.

O - Incredibly smooth, ABV is non-existent and the flavour profile is incredibly well presented. Nicely balanced and insanely drinkable at 10%. A fantastic brew that aged incredibly well and I am definitely glad I had the opportunity to try it. Thanks Joe!
