World of Beer, Arlington tap: Two drunk guys walked into WOB and asked for the most alcoholic beer on tap. They were served this. They couldn’t really handle it, so they asked for Baltika #9 afterwards I decided to try it. Anyway, it pours a hazy reddish color with a small head. Aroma is candied sugar, fruit, and surprisingly little booze. Taste is really sweet and sort one dimensional, which isn’t to say that this beer lacks all subtlety. The alcohol is amazingly well covered and for such a massive beer, this is pleasantly easy to drink. That being said, this really isn’t my style, as it is much too sweet.

Charred oak nose. Black, medium tan head. Flavor is dominated by charcoal, perhaps some blackberry underneath, but very roast and toasty. Alcohol noticeable, but only slightly detracting. Medium body. Decent.

Growler at RBWG 2013. Pours lightly hazy gold with a fine white foam head. Some modest Belgian yeast in the aroma, ripe citrus, dough. Medium sweet flavor, more doughy malts, yeast, candi sugar. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet, lightly warming finish, touches of dry, doughy malts, bit of cereal and straw. Pretty authentic Belgian ale.
