a wholly sanctified and indubitably bonafide high gravity elixir. Traditional Belgian yeast and candi sugars ensure a zealous fermentation, classic dark fruit flavors and a big ABV. We’re not religious about beer styles though, so we dosed this sucker with loads of American hops.

Draught pint at Sunset Grill, 11/2/2005. Chill-hazed golden-amber-beige with a fizzy white head, not long retained. Aroma of biscuity, grainy malt, sour fruits and white pepper, with plant stalks and strange herbs. ???? Flavor begins sour and rather meaty (spoiled meat, rotten cabbage) with sourish, bready munich-like malts and some dry biscuits. More old fruits, a slight bitter sensation and a lingering, unpleasant acidity. Mouthfeel is lively, and watery on end, with moderate carbonation. Light alcohol apparency towards the end, unpleasant. Like to think that this is a bad sample, but I see that Andre also noted vegetable notes. A Belgian session ale?? No, that’s orval.

Bright dark amber colour. Toasty, ashy aroma with light dark fruit esters. Somewhat spritzy body. Malt-accented with a whole wheat bread character, woody accents and a definite raisin character. Dusty (yeasty), sweet finish.
