Süßer, hell malziger Beginn. Hefig, kräutrig, die starke Süße stört. Halbwegs süffig, hefig-kräutrig bleibend, klassisch belgisch. 9/5/6/5/5/6

Apparently a double mash stanneman blond, with 3% Jim beam bourbon blended in.
Pours a warm amberblonde. Small white head. Scent is bourbon, caramelized malt intensity. Taste is full, sweet, bourbon clearly there, but also some yeaststress, autolysis and loud, sticky phenols. Sweet, bit boozy finish. Soft, fairly thick mouthfeel and low carbo.

Magus, mõru, röst, puuviljane, kohvine, šokolaadine. Ok.

You had me at Silent Killer. Anything less than great is going to be a letdown. A pale Belgian with a high abv, bring it on. I have my Buffalo Bayou tulip glass arrayed for this tasting. I see a light yellow-orange body with a slight head of white foam. The smell goes in a different direction. Fruity and grainy with yeast. The taste, well, it is out there. I am reminded a bit of Dogfish Head 120 Minute, one of my favorites ever. Bright yellow fruit, a booziness, a light touch of hops, mango, all with a significant burn. More like a cocktail than anything. Enlightening.
