Tasting at Matt’s; 12% ABV; bottle 972/1000
Hazy amber-brown color, a few sparse bubbles. Nice aroma, bourbon and fudge, some alcohol. Strong body, moderately sweet, desperately and unsuccessfully fought by the alcohol; but the malt depth is good; bourbon.
Malty but very boozy. Not bad.

22 oz. bottle, pours a deep dark mahogany with a small beige head. Aroma brings out notes of bourbon, caramel malts, dark fruits, and Belgian yeast. Flavour is nicely integrated, with notes of bourbon upfront, followed by brown sugar, dark fruits, caramel and Belgian yeast. Inauthentic, but cohesive and nicely balanced. Good stuff.

Draft pour at Toronado, Seattle. $5 for a full pour of this. Seems low for a Belgian Strong away from the source, so I’m a little unsure going in. Clear and shiny golden pour with a full finger of lasting foam head. Sweet banana, odd Belgian aroma. Flavor is lighter than expected. Herbal, light banana, apple, a crisp finish. A little funk mixed in. Not a bad beer here.

Draft pour pint at Black Bottle. A hazy golden pour with a thin fizz head. A sweet fruit, straw, and malt centered aroma. Creamy body, mixed fruit, straw grains, citrus hop quality. A pretty good pale here. Good enough to order two over good conversation. Good stuff.
