Pint on tap at Princess Pub, San Diego. Clear amber beer with a thin white head. Grain nose, sweet grain taste. Finish is a little sour. Full body, smooth texture. A step up from macro-Lager but only one step.

pours a really nice looking abbey ale brown with a nice yellow-brown head that doesn't last but leaves a film. looks totally belgian. nutty and malty and belgian yeasts and a lot of bourbon in the aroma, also some wood, bit of brown sugar, fainter or more subtle notes of dried dark fruits, like figs, but not very fruity, more like dried sweet fruits, more like malts, if that makes sense, also some sweet nuts in there. aroma is like a really good no-that-fruity-but-plenty of flavor quad, just bourbon barrel aged, so tons of bourbon in addition to the quad thing. it is not balanced (too much bourbon) but the tilted balance works quite well nevertheless. flavor is sweet malty, dried dark fruits, wood, bourbon, especially towards the end, some bitter caramelly almost burned plastic like bitterness, probably from a very light infection, or from the barrel, but baiscally a strange in-between, between a bourbon barrel aged barley wine, and a good traditional belgian quad. If you like that sort of thing, it's a great and complex sipper, that still packs a punch in 2024 even if bottled in 2018 - but i think it is topping now, some of the subtle off flavors could be bc of aging getting to it. If you are in mood for this kind of crazy and complex thing, the beer will be much more than 3.8 to you. the craziness is super interesting and explorable and makes a GREAT sipper. If i had more, i'd keep one 5yrs more and see what happens.

Thanks Justin for sharing! Wineglass showing pale amber with sparse white foam.
The nose shows moderately intense notes of orange and tangerine.
The palate is well carbonated and light bodied. Dry cannabis forward with a moderately sharp bitterness.

16oz can, drank in Laguna Hills on 28th July 2023. No head on a murky dull orange/pineapple colored body. Intense pineapple aroma and taste, sour pineapple that is! Strange thing all round and not very beer like, not really helped by the cinnamon and cloves that are added during the brewing process.
