Tap at the brewpub. Pitch black with lace. Spicy Belgian yeast nose, with dark chocolate, coffee. Light sweet fruitiness in the flavor, with dark chocolate, spicy yeast, low to medium roast. Very rich and creamy.

Tap at the brewpub. Clear, brilliant golden color with lace. Very nice Nelson Sauvin nose, white grape, citrus, light spiciness of Belgian yeast, clean malt. Nice Nelson flavor as well. I like that it's definitely not overly yeasty or spicy. Very clean.

Tap at the brewpub. Deep bronze color, clear, with a lacy head. Malty, bready nose, with peppery, spicy old-fashioned UK hops. Notes of lemon, orange, esters, toasty malt and spicy hops. Well done.
Oooh nice! Little boozy sweetness. Got that good plastic soapy Belgian thing going on. I like this a lot. Lightly fruity. Full bodied. Lots to like! Light spice. Good stuff.

Good stuff but maybe a little too grainy. But not after the second sip. It’s a good drop! Not the most exciting but definitely better to err on the side of caution rather than over do the spice rack.
