The success of HOG HEAVEN and THE REVEREND clearly demonstrates that beer drinkers are willing to embrace "BIGGER" beers. In the fall of 2001, we decided that a lighter BIG BEER would complement its darker colored predecessors. Salvation has luscious apricot and peach aromas delicately interwoven with spicy suggestions of nutmeg and cinnamon. This heavenly soft, champagne-like elixir is cellarable for 3 years.

Sampled on draft at Zeno’s in State College PA this beer poured a bright golden-amber color with a small yellow-white head. The aroma was sweet sugar, ripe fruits and fruity hops. The flavor was sweet, tangy and sugary with notes of ripe fruits and butterscotch. The body was thick and heavy. The alcohol was well hidden. Excellent.

Bouteille 650ml, courtoisie de Hogtownharry. De couleur ambrée dorée et claire. Nez de levures fruitées (agrumes, léger d’abricots, traces de poires), d’épices (cannelle, notes de coriandre et de muscade), léger de malt du genre sucre bonbon ainsi que des notes d’alcool et de houblon herbeux. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-fort et une texture moyennement crémeuse (veloutée). Goût de levures fruitées (agrumes sucrées et zest, léger d’abricots, notes de pommes et traces de poires) et léger d’épices (léger de muscade, notes de cannelle) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût malté moyennement sucré de sucre bonbon, un léger goût de miel et des notes de pain parallèlement à un goût moyennement amer d’alcool légèrement réchauffant puis en finale, l’on retrouve également un léger goût amer de houblon herbeux (herbes fraîches) et de levures asséchantes (traces de poivre). Post-goût long et un peu sec, moyennement amer d’alcool, de levures fruitées (zest d’agrumes, pelures d’abricots et pépins de pommes) et léger de houblon herbeux.

Bottle as shown. Pours a orange golden color with a medium white head that dimishes quickly. Has a stong fruity aroma of tangerine and apples. Good lacing on this one. The taste is a sweet orange and citrus with a smooth finish that hides the alcohol well. A very impressive belgian strong ale from Avery.

Interesting floral aroma with stone fruit notes. Bright gold color with a white head that attempts lacing. Thin to medium bodied, with light, creamy carbonation. The flavor starts with spice and stone fruit; could be some peach. Definitely could be apricot - more likely than peach. Finish is fairly dry, and not really bitter. It is hard to believe there is 9% in here. This is really delicious.

Bottle at KØ07. Weak, but good, sweetish hop aroma. Clear golden colour, small white head. Very malty flavour, in perfect balance with pepper and alcohol notes. Caramelly flavour also going well with the alcohol. This is really good.
