Did henry ford really have a girthsome fjord? Or is it flippant conjecture forming a combination of words that we find amusing? Sure we can justify it: Henry Ford was Belgo-American, Fjords are produced by glaciers (... Glacier hops...), . Either way, you can have this heavily hopped dark roasty Belgian Ale any colour you want as long as it's brown.

33 cl bottle. Pours hazy brown with a huge tan head. Aroma is roasted malty and caramelish. Crisp hoppy and light fruity. Vague sourness. Dark roasted toffee caramelish malty. Lingering fruity finish.

Pours murky dark brown with a large, lasting head.Boths hops and roasted malt are strong on the nose; big coffee and cocoa notes alongside grapefruit, pine and peach.Same story with the flavours, big roasty characters as mentioned in the aroma, while the hops are mostly noticeable in a big, brash bitterness. Some alcohol is noticeable, but not hot.

Bottle, 11C. Dark reddish brown with an inch of beige head that lasts and laces well. Aroma of chocolate and a melange of hops aromatics, mainly citrus-leaning, but also some spices. Creamy mouthfeel. Taste is sweet with toffee and burnt mocha, cinnamon, cloves, vanilla, quite pungent juniper berries in a creepingly bitter finish. Weird and good - which I guess is what they’re going for. Would go well with game.
