We used yeast from Abbaye de Scourmount (they make a little beer called Chimay) in Belgium. The roasted fig, clove, and ripe banana esters shine through the dark fruit, malt forward body. Belgian candy sugar lends a light caramel flavor, and dries the beer out very nicely. Brewer’s Gold hops balance the entire beer, leaving it clean on the palate. It just may leave you muttering “Sweet Mother Mary!”

Bottle from Malt & Vine. Pours dark ruddy/orange/amber (against strong light) with a transient beige head. Aroma is malty, reminding of cola. Med +body. Flavor is malty, but hard to define hop seems to be keeping it rather dry. Think I’m getting Belgian yeast/esters. Indeed. Maybe this stuff is reminding me of Orval? It’s getting better and better. Just read the label. This may have been done with Chimay yeast! Suddenly I like it even more. :)

Draught at Alibi Room, Vancouver
10oz
Brown color, with compact head. Light caramel aroma, some esters, cola. Overly carbonated; off dry mouthfeel; strong dark caramel flavor, but it gets too roasty and too dusty; fairly strong bitterness with dusty final too.
Confused, not exciting.

Dark brown pour from the bottle. Thanks Erika. Slightly bitter taste with plum and some licorice. Roasted malt finish. A little sweet. I enjoyed this.

On tap at St Augustine's, pours an opaque dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out Belgian spices, including clove, cocoa, and some subtle dark fruits. Flavour brings out notes of cocoa, Belgian spices, earthy malts, and more cocoa. Mouthfeel is very cocoa-y and spicy smooth, with a warming finish. Extremely well-balanced, with the cocoa being the most dominant note. Excellent beer.
