4.25/5  rDev +17.4%

Appearance: Poured a dark brown with some slight reddish/mahogany highlights as light passed through the beer. After poured, the beer was capped with a thin whitish head that dissipated into a small lacing of bubbles crowing the beer.

Aroma: Strong aromas of dark bread and roasted malt, with a faint hint of smoke and spice. Cloves, maybe? Dried fruit such as plums and raisins and sour cherries.

Taste: First taste, as the beer is cold, is very malty, but there’s a lot of spice there too; definitely clove. There’s a lot of dark bread, and toffee, with a nice sweet and slight alcohol finish. As the beer warms up to almost room temperature, (which is how I prefer all my Belgian beers) I get dried stone fruit, like prunes or raisins.

Mouthfeel: For a dark beer, there’s a nice effervescence, making the beer crisp and refreshing. It’s a great beer for both winter and summer.

Overall: I love Belgian brown ales, and I found that Lost Rhino’s version is an excellent example of such a style. Being a local beer, I have a feeling that I’m going to be drinking this quite a bit!
