6.2/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 7
Aroma is fruity and raisiny, but with hints of acetone. Flavor is strange fruits, with chocolate, not sure that combo is working. More acetone, bananas, pineapple. Mild astringency in he finish, with some coffee as promised in the commercial description. This is not working for me. Brown color, small head. On further reflection, this beer grew on me before I finished the glass. The acetone gave rise to bubblegum, and the dark melts melted into the yeastiness. Still not a great beer but fair enough by the end. Was almost a drainpour that became a beer I was happy to finish.

Draft @ Taco Mac Sandy Spring, GA. Pours a reddish amber color with a small off-white head. Has a fruity malty spicy caramel aroma. Fruity malty caramel flavor with spicy hints. Has a fruity slightly roasted malty spicy caramel finish.

Bouteille, brune foncée et brumeuse, mousse effervescente beige. D’entrée de jeu, je note au nez cet arôme de levure belge avec des notes de fruits; banane et une légère présence de malt grillé et grains. Au palais, reste similaire à l’arôme. Levure accompagnée de malt grillé, note d’ester de levure laissant un goût fruité de banane et de pomme. Le tout a des notes de sucre candi et d’épices de noël avec au fini une fine couche de café. La levure reste bien présente et laisse ce fini de fruit mélange au malt pour un style qui reste belge.
