T.W.O. Reserva (2013)
De Struise Brouwers

Thanks to JLindros for sharing this bottle.

A - Poured into a Kate the Great tulip a nice slightly hazy honey copper hue with a thin white head that fades to light wisps and a thin blanket.

S - Aromas of big oxidation. Cardboard galore, big apple brandy, lighter fruity hops. Rather sweet Belgian sugars.

T - Taste is similar to the nose with big sweet candy sugar, almost cloy. Big Belgian esters and light almost funk. Good almost medicinal notes.

M - Mouthfeel is brightly carbonated, distractingly so. Like, this shouldn't be this carbonated.

O - Overall this was a very underwhelming beer. The Belgian elements are nice but super flawed.
