8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square - the final release in this brewery's ongoing Belgian series, I would imagine. It's funny how many high-test brews made in this province 'wind up' at 11.9% ABV, since the sin taxes jump after that.
This beer appears a clear, medium bronzed amber colour, with a thin cap of wispy and faintly bubbly off-white head, which leaves some approaching iceberg profile lace around the glass as things slowly progress.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, a lesser toffee sweetness, candi sugar, a muddled pome fruitiness, and very tame earthy, musty, and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, biscuity toffee, some apple and pear fruity notes, estery perfume, and more understated earthy, leafy, and floral green hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite subdued in its palate-dulling frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with just a touch of alcohol ingress messing with the ideal here. It finishes off-dry, the malt and lingering eau de toilette essences predominating.
Overall - this is an agreeable enough version of the style, but sorely lacks the complexity of the old-world greats. At least it hides its big-boy booze quotient for the most part, which make 'enduring' the rest of this serving that much easier.
