22oz from the brewery. Poured into St. Bernardus tasting glass. Long lasting head, really sticks around forever, Ruby brown color, cannot see through it. I was happy with the first smell being not super estry or sweet, thank goodness. As I keep drinking I actually like the beer, which is a surprise for a brewery like G’town and this style. Aroma is very grainy/buckwheat, which I love when I get in beers. Very earthy and not sweet, no fruit esters to speak of. A medium body that is broken up by a lightly vigorous carbonation. The beer finishes light on the palate. Flavor is similar not sweet or estry yet totally Belgian. Nicely grainy malt. Really surprising and highly appreciated. I think I’ll buy another bottle.

Bomber shared by Eugene - nose of toffee, dusty, musty yeast character, some mildly spicy phenolics, a bit of muskiness - flavor is not overly sweet - some toffee and toasty dark bread - balancing acidity through the middle - a bit of raisin, light earthy phenolics - finish of toasted nuts, light dark fruit, and caramelized sugars, baked apples - surprisingly good.

Bottle. Dark pour with a sweet aroma. Malty start and finish. Very sweet overall, but not too sweet. A little bready. Very good Belgian style beer.
