Brewed with loads of malt and Belgian yeast, Pere Jacques is a wonderfully fruity, malty ale. Pere Jacques’ complex flavors stand shoulder to shoulder with the Belgian Dubbels enjoyed in the world’s finest beer bars. At the dining table it’s the perfect alternative to a glass of vintage port.

A Belgian strong ale of the sweeter variety, though not too heavy for my liking. It’s reminiscent of Abbaye des Rocs or Unibroue Trois Pistoles. Surprisingly little sediment - I wonder if they filter these. Aftertaste has some oaky bitterness and sugarcane type sweetness. Smell has plenty of alcohol and a trace of flowers. A good beer, all things considered. Well executed - I just hope InBev doesn’t start to screw with these lines. Bottle from Health food store in Lebanon, NH.

Bottle. Molasses, cherry, caramel malt aroma. Murky copper with a small beige head. Strong molasses, caramel malt, slight metallic, alcohol flavor with a spicy finish. Medium to full body, lively carbonation.

22oz bomber poured into a Trappist glass. 2010 vintage. Pours a hazy brown with almost no head. Aroma of fruity malty sugar. Taste is lightly sweet. Fruity with some sugar and a good dose of caramel. Also a little spicy. Very complex with the alcohol well hidden. Full bodied with a creamy yet sticky texture. Lively carbonation and a long finish. Overall, not bad. I think I would like to try this fresh to compare the two.

2011 version. Somewhat sweet aroma. Appears a little viscous in the glass. A brownish pale color of iced tea. First taste is quite strong and provides a slight burning sensation down the hatch. No head. Yes, quite syrupy, almost cloying at times. Medicinal finish. Too much for this lager lover. Quite an alky punch impact.

Bottle @ home. 2010 vintage. Very cloudy, brown appearance wit ha smallish tan head. Thick candy sugar, dark caramel malty, toffee, Belgian yeasty aroma. Fairly thick, rich toffee, thick candy sugar, dark caramel malty flavor that’s quite sweet and somewhat bready. Kind of one dimensional, though drinkable.

RBESG Sheffield 2009 Grand Tasting @ the Harlequin. Bottle 2008 vintage. Hazy brown with brown head. Ripe fruit aroma with a quite intense alcoholic hint The taste is very seet malty, lots of fruit. Despite the dry finish and a noticeable hops present I found it to sweet for my likings and quite unbalanced.
